Whereas the legacy of Ce´sar E. Cha´vez includes healthy
working conditions that yield uncontaminated food for
America’s tables and the enforcement of employer sanc-

Whereas Ce´sar E. Cha´vez’s influence extends far beyond ag-

better human rights through his example of organizing
voter registration drives in urban and farm areas, initi-
ating complaints against mistreatment by police and wel-
fare officials, and empowering everyday workers to seek
advancement in education and politics; and
Whereas Ce´sar E. Cha´vez lived alongside his campesino
