#ThisDayInHistory : 'Our cause, our strike and our international boycott are all founded upon the deep conviction that the form of collective self-help which is unionization holds far more hope for the farm worker than any other single approach” –Cesar Chavez , April 16, 1969.

Happy National Pet Day! 🐾

Cesar Chavez had two German Shepherds he trained himself named Boycott & Huelga (Strike). He attributed them to his commitments to vegetarianism and animal rights, and at his request, they are buried near him in the rose garden at The National Chavez Center.

Happy Birthday to Ethel Kennedy. Ethel is a long time supporter of the Farm Workers Movement, from visiting Cesar Chavez in the Salinas jail in 1970 to helping him end his fast over pesticides in Delano in 1988.
