Flint, Michigan was the first city in the country to honor Chavez by naming a street in his honor 23 years ago.
To honor his legacy of determination in helping others, we will also hold a fundraiser in conjunction with the March. ALL proceeds will go directly to help UFW members and their families who continue to fight for justice on the job for those who are at the beginning of the chain to bring food to the American table.
