                     Cesar Chavez March for Justice
   
                        







He was for his own people a Moses figure. The farm workers who labored in the fields and yearned for respect and self-sufficiency pinned their hopes on this remarkable man, who, with faith and discipline, with soft-spoken humility and amazing inner strength, led a very courageous life. And  in so doing, brought dignity to the lives of so many others, and provided for us inspiration for the rest of our nation's history. --President Bill Clinton said of Cesar Chavez as he was posthumously awarded the 1994 Presedential Medal of Freedom.

March 2009 marks the 43rd anniversary of Cesar Chavez' historic 350-mile pilgrimage from Delano to Sacramento, which drew national attention to the plight of farm workers in America. To honor this anniversary and to educate and energize people with the power of civic engagement, we invite you to join us for several events commemorating Cesar Chavez.
