“Cesar Chavez was one of America’s greatest champions for civil rights and social justice. His leadership gave rise to a movement that improved the working conditions of all agricultural workers. Chavez used non-violent protest to forge a path to progress. His movement created a lasting legacy not just for Hispanic Americans, but for all Americans.”
“There are many lessons from that we can learn from Cesar Chavez today. His movement continues to inspire us to push for an increase of the minimum wage, push for a renewal of unemployment insurance, and ensure that all Americans have access to affordable healthcare.“ - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
