Cesar Chavez

The New Cesar Chavez Action and Information Center

March 31 is the birthday of labor and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez. Please take this opportunity to sign the petition calling for a national holiday to celebrate his life and the legacy he left behind.   

If you haven't seen it already, the United Farm Workers have put up an excellent online resource center on UFW co-founder and tireless activist for farmworker justice Cesar Chavez. Find it at:

The resource center includes audio and video clips, and while you're there you can sign the petition calling for a national Cesar Chavez holiday -- an honor that would be fitting for the memory of a man who did so much to help so many.
