Summary of Bill HRES 271
Bill 119 H.Res. 271, also known as the "Honoring the accomplishments and legacy of César Estrada Chávez" bill, was introduced in the US Congress to recognize 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.
