Early voters can cast their ballots at NSU’s Alvin Sherman Library and enjoy FREE live music on October 30, 2020. The live concert will be provided by The Summit (@thesummit954) at the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center.

Members of The Summit (Lenny Arias, Anthony Bucci, Farid Cano, and Timothy LaRoque) have risen the ranks of South Florida’s music scene, performing at well-known venues like the American Airlines Arena and Revolution Live all before the age of 21. What started out as a hobby for these South Broward High School band students in 2018, has quickly blossomed into a special experience for both the band and all who listen to them. The group channels a wide range of classical influences in their musicianship, including Elton John and The Beatles.

Dolores Huerta is an activist and labor leader who co-founded what would become the United Farm Workers.

As an activist and labor leader Huerta has worked to improve social and economic conditions for farm workers and to fight discrimination. To further her cause, she created the Agricultural Workers Association (AWA) in 1960 and co-founded what would become the United Farm Workers (UFW). Huerta stepped down from the UFW in 1999, but she continues her efforts to improve the lives of workers, immigrants and women.

Huerta has been honored for her work as a fierce advocate for farm workers, immigration and women. She received the Ellis Island Medal of Freedom Award and was inducted in the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 1993. That year proved bittersweet for her as she also experienced the passing of her beloved friend Cesar Chavez.

In 1998, she received the Eleanor Roosevelt Award, a year before she stepped down from her position at the United Farm Workers. In 2002, she received the Puffin/Nation Prize for Creative Citizenship. The $100,000 award provided her the means to create the Dolores Huerta Foundation, whose purpose is to bring organizing and training skills to low-income communities.
