As a women-owned business that supports women, we felt it necessary to speak out in support of Dolores Huerta.

The Mermaid stands in firm solidarity with Dolores Huerta. It takes immense courage to speak truth to power, especially within movements built by and for our communities. We believe in honoring the movement while also holding its leaders accountable. Progress isn't possible without the truth. Thank you for standing with our fellow women.

​Thank you, Dolores. ✊🏽💜 Si se puede!
