Cesar Chavez fought for farm workers. He stood up for those who helped feeds the world. He believed that if given the opportunity, everyday Americans would also support his efforts to improve working conditions for farm workers. You can help continue his work by registering for the Youth and Young Adults Conference on Farm Worker Rights. This youth conference will feature community leaders and guest speakers, educational workshops and an action plan to support farm workers. Hosted by La Placita Church located at 535 N Main St, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (close to Union Station and Olvera Street) the July 9, conference will begin at 10:00am and the conference will end at 4:30 pm. Lunch will be provided to pre-registered participants. "Young people have always played a key role in social movements," said UFW co-founder Dolores Huerta--an invited speaker. "This conference is an important step to kicks off the UFW's summer educate youth and get them involved with taking action for farm worker rights." Conference host--and long time farm worker rights activist--Fr. Richard Estrada, is hoping this event wil make more young adults aware of the conditions the people who put food on our table face. ?It is a tragedy that in 2009, many farm workers work in dangerous working conditions, often without water and shade. The July 9th conference date commemorates the one-year anniversary of the heat death of grape worker Abdon Felix--one of 6 farm workers who suffered heat related deaths last summer." Get involved.
