Cesar E. Chavez Day

Cesar E. Chavez Day is observed on March 31, honoring the legacy of Cesar Chavez, a prominent American labor leader and civil rights activist. He co-founded the United Farm Workers (UFW) in the 1960s, advocating for better working conditions and rights for farmworkers, many of whom were low-wage earners and immigrants. The day celebrates Chavez's contributions to social justice and labor rights, emphasizing the importance of dignity, respect, and equality for all workers. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and the influence of grassroots activism in achieving change.
