Overview
Cesar Chavez Day celebrates the birth and legacy of the civil rights and labor movement activist, Cesar Chavez. With dedication and selflessness, Cesar Chavez fought for farm workers’ rights, economic justice, and civil rights.
His legacy reminds us of the central place that organizing and collective bargaining holds in advancing the dignity and wellbeing of working Americans. It’s a reminder that the power of workers coming together to bargain for a better deal is what built the American middle class and made possible the American dream.
“Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.” – Cesar Chavez
