SUMMARY : Recognizes March 31, 2013, as the anniversary of the
birth of César Chávez, and calls upon all Californians to
participate in appropriate observances to remember César Chávez
as a symbol of hope and justice to all persons. Specifically,
this resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1)On March 31, 1927, César Chávez was born in North Gila River
Valley in Arizona, on the small family farm his grandfather
homesteaded.
2)As a farmworker, César Chávez experienced firsthand the
injustice of working long hours with little pay. Under those
conditions, Mr. Chávez began a long career in which he worked
to improve the working and living conditions for farmworkers
preaching nonviolence and fasting to call attention to the
immigrant workers' cause.
3)In 2000, the Legislature enacted SB 984 (Chapter 213, Statutes
of 2000) to create an annual state holiday on César Chávez
birthday, March 31; and, as provided in the bill, the State
Board of Education adopted a model curriculum on the life and
work of César Chávez which includes topics on pesticides,
immigration, and agriculture's role in the economy.
