Pelosi Statement on Cesar Chávez Day

“Cesar Chávez made America more fair, more just, and more hopeful. A visionary organizer, Chávez used non-violent activism to lay bare the plight of America’s farmworkers – igniting an iconic movement to secure safe working conditions, fair wages, and proper protections for working families. Chávez challenged the nation to take up the cause of justice for working people as a common fight, ‘for their sakes and for our own.’”
