Dear Romi,
Cesar Chavez speaking at the UFW's 1991 Constitutional Convention in Delano
Click
here to honor Cesar
on his
March 31 birthday
Happy Cesar Chavez Day! Throughout his
life, César inspired millions of people – from the fields and in the cities--
to commit themselves to the fight for social, economic, and civil rights. When
he was once asked by a union member how he wanted to be remembered, Chávez
replied, “If you want to remember me, organize!”
César knew as you and I do--there is
still much to be done. The struggle for a contract with Giumarra (one of the
largest producers of table grapes ), injustice in the wrongful death of farm
worker Maria Isavel Vasquez Jimenez, and the continuing legislative attacks on
immigrants, unions and the poor remind us of the challenges we face this very
moment.
So today, we’re remembering César the
way he wished us to--organizing everyone we know. Will you join us by donating
your Facebook status in honor of César today?
It’s easy. Click here to ‘donate’ your
Facebook status to César in honor of his March 31st birthday.
Today, ten states will officially
observe César Chávez’ birthday but by the end of the day, our goal is to spread
César’s message to millions of people around the world through Facebook. Sound
impossible? “Sí Se Puede!” Just imagine if all of us donated our Facebook
status, and we each had 10 friends (though, I suspect you all have many more
than that!) and just one of our friends chose to join in…
Together we can make sure millions
continue to be inspired by César’s fight for the rights and dignity of all
people. But it starts with you – can we count you in?
Honor César’s legacy today. Share his
fight for the fair treatment for farm workers, fair labor contracts, and
respect in their communities.
If you don’t have a Facebook account
but know friends who do, please forward this message on honoring Cesar’s
legacy. Let them know by donating their status through our application they can
educate others on Cesar's legacy.,
Sí Se Puede! Viva Cesar Chavez!
