The United Farm Workers and the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation are proud to support
the grassroots efforts of the "Cesar E. Chavez National Holiday Coalition".
UFW Founder Cesar E. Chavez, stood as one of the heroic figures of the 20th
century who inspired millions in our nation into action for economic and social
justice, civil rights and political empowerment. He led the historic non-violent
movement for farm workers' rights and was dedicated to building a movement of
poor working people that extended beyond the fields and into cities and towns
across the nation.
The legacy of Cesar E. Chavez, like the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
serves to educate, inspire, and empower people from all walks of life. Cesar
Chavez is a role model for all Americans and the generations to come.
Ask Congress to designate March 31 as Cesar E. Chavez Day to ensure Chavez'
legacy is recognized and celebrated throughout our nation with a federal paid
holiday and a day of service and learning in our public schools.
Take Action at: http://www.ufw.org/chavezholiday
Tell-A-Friend: Please help make the Cesar E. Chavez national holiday a reality.
Forward this message to at least 10 friends or family and ask them to sign the
petition today.
