From Sierra Club: Sí Se Puede. It Can Be Done

César Chávez:Sí Se Puede. It Can Be Done
As founder of the United Farm Workers, labor and environment leader César Chávez worked to gain rights for farmworkers and to ensure healthier communities for all people. As we celebrate his birthday and his memory this week, the spotlight turns to Washington, where Congress is considering a bill to study significant lands in Chávez’s life and work for inclusion into the National Park System.



Chávez’s courageous life has inspired many to continue the fight for environmental justice, so our children and families have a stronger, healthier future. Chávez’s legacy, like that of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., continues to educate, inspire and empower people from all walks of life, and should be celebrated.

Hopefully soon we will all be able celebrate César E. Chávez National Holiday!
