Today we celebrate the legacy of César Chávez, one of the most influential civil
rights activists and labor organizers, whose contributions paved the way for
progress for so many people.

César Chávez, along with Dolores Huerta and thousands of farmworkers across the
nation, organized one of the most significant labor movements in history. He
fought for fair wages and better working conditions for farmworkers feeding
America. His unique approach to organizing led to the formation of a multiethnic
organizing campaign and the founding of the United Farm Workers (UFW).

As we honor César Chávez’s legacy, we also recognize the work we have left to do
to ensure immigrant farmworkers in this country — and all workers — are paid,
honored, and protected. It is still all too true that immigrant workers
disproportionately endure dangerous, difficult working conditions, often with
minimal pay and protections, to keep our country well fed.

Everyone deserves a safe, equitable workplace. At the National Immigration Law Center, we are working to defend the
fundamental rights of all those working in the U.S. — from improving workplace
conditions to challenging unconstitutional workplace violations.

We are honored to carry the legacy of César Chávez and thousands of farmworkers
and labor movement leaders before us, as we continue our work fighting for
humanity, dignity, and justice for all.

Si Se Puede!

Executive Director
