People from across California gathered in Delano on March 31 to demonstrate their solidarity with immigrant communities and to celebrate former civil rights advocate Cesar Chavez, who once led a five-year strike challenging California farmers in Delano, demanding fair wages and better working conditions for farm laborers.
The event was organized by the United Farm Workers Foundation, an organization founded by activists Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, and Philip Vera Cruz. Participants met at Memorial Park before beginning their journey to the Forty Acres, a historic site and headquarters for the UFW.
