Cesar Chavez Day is a commemorative holiday in several U.S. states that
honors the life and achievements of Cesar Chavez, a prominent labor
leader and civil rights activist. The holiday is observed on March 31st
each year. Cesar Chavez was a co-founder of the National Farm Workers
Association, which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW) union. He
dedicated his life to advocating for better working conditions, fair
wages, and rights for farmworkers, particularly those of Latino and
Filipino descent, in the United States. Chavez's efforts helped bring
attention to the plight of farmworkers and contributed to significant
improvements in labor conditions and rights. Cesar Chavez Day serves as a
tribute to his legacy and continues to inspire activism and social
justice movements.
