ognize and celebrate the contributions of César Estrada Chávez to the labor and civil rights movements in the United States. César Chávez was a prominent labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the United Farm Workers (UFW) union and dedicated his life to fighting for the rights of farm workers, many of whom were immigrants and people of color. He is best known for organizing the Delano grape strike in 1965, which led to the first successful union contract for farm workers in the United States. The bill highlights Chávez's commitment to nonviolent protest and his advocacy for social justice, workers' rights, and environmental protection. It also recognizes his role in inspiring future generations of activists and leaders to continue the fight for equality and justice. If passed, this bill would officially honor and commemorate the legacy of César Chávez, recognizing his significant contributions to American history and culture. It would serve as a reminder of the importance of standing up for the rights of all workers, particularly those in marginalized and vulnerable communities.

rpose of this bill is to allow schools that participate in the school lunch program to serve whole milk to students. Currently, the National School Lunch Program only allows schools to serve low-fat or fat-free milk to students. This bill seeks to change that restriction and give schools the option to serve whole milk to students. Proponents of the bill argue that whole milk provides essential nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, that are important for children's growth and development. If passed, this bill would give schools more flexibility in their meal planning and allow them to offer a wider variety of dairy options to students. It is important to note that this bill does not mandate schools to serve whole milk, but rather gives them the choice to do so. Overall, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act aims to promote the health and well-being of students by providing them with nutritious options in school meals. The bill is currently under consideration in the US Congress and has garnered support from various stakeholders in the education and dairy industries.
