César Chavez Day celebrates an extraordinary civil rights and environmental justice leader. Chávez (1927-1993) pioneered efforts to protect farmworkers, notably through a 1988 hunger strike that exposed the devastating impacts of pesticides on human health and the environment.

Despite progress, this fight continues. Pesticides still poison an estimated 20,000 U.S. farmworkers annually, disproportionately affecting Latino and other minority, low-income communities. The Center for Biological Diversity continues this critical work. Learn more by reading our report on glyphosate use in California: http://ow.ly/10642v
