HRES 271 United States House · 119th Congress

Honoring the accomplishments and legacy of César Estrada Chávez.

This resolution (HRES 271) is a symbolic House of Representatives measure honoring César Estrada Chávez, a civil rights leader who co-founded the United Farm Workers and advocated for farmworkers' rights through nonviolent action. It recognizes his life, legacy, and the "¡Sí se puede!" (Yes, we can!) slogan, referencing his work on fair wages, safe conditions, and the 1975 California Agricultural Labor Relations Act. The resolution encourages the public to commemorate his legacy through service and education, consistent with existing state observances of his birthday (March 31) in multiple states. It has no legal effect or policy changes, as it is purely commemorative.
