TO GO VISIT HIM. HE HAD BEEN IN
THE FAST FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND
LITTLE TINY ROOM AND IN THE LANE
L. MENACES. SAYS YOU KNOW
SOMETHING REALLY STRANGE
HAPPENED TO ME. SINCE I HAD A
DREAM LAST NIGHT THAT I WAS
EATING TACOS THE CARDINAL SAVA.
WELL THE REASON IS CHANGES
BECAUSE HE WAS A- VERY VERY
DEEPLY COMMITTED VEGAN. AND HERE
HE WAS HAVING DREAMS ABOUT
EATING TACOS. OF MEAT THAT GOES
BUT HE HAD THIS INCREDIBLE
SIMPLICITY ABOUT HIM. THE A DEEP
COMMITMENT TO PEOPLE A DEEP
COMMITMENT TO NONVIOLENCE THAT'S
WHY HE AND- REVEREND MARTIN
LUTHER KING- MADE THAT THE
CONNECTION WITH EACH OTHER. AND
OF COURSE HE HAD A DEEP
COMMITMENT. TO THE LABOR
MOVEMENT SEEN UNIONS AS THE ONLY
WAY TO BE ABLE TO GET THE
RESPECT THAT THEY DESERVE. SO
WITH THAT SISTERS AND BROTHERS

SEIZURES. SAYS ARE TRAVIS STAY.
CESAR CHAVEZ HISTORY OF SERVICE
AND ADVOCACY IS FIELD WOULD
INFLUENCE IN COOPERATION WITH
THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY.
EACH OF THE PRIOR ATTEMPTS TO
ORGANIZE A FARM WORKERS UNION
HAD BEEN DESTROYED BY RACISM AND
CORPORATE POWER. BUT SHAHBAZ
ALONG WITH OTHERS DELIBERATELY
CREATED A MULTI RACIAL UNION
MADE UP OF MEXICANS MEXICAN
AMERICANS FILIPINOS AFRICAN
AMERICANS DOMINICANS PORTER
RICANS AND ARAB WORKERS. AMONG
OTHERS ALL BEING PART OF THE U.
F. W. IN NINETEEN SIXTY SIX
MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT NON
VIOLENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE
BETTER KNOWN AS SCHNECK. JOINED
CESAR CHAVEZ AND UNITED FARM
WORKERS UNION AND A TWO HUNDRED
AND FIFTY MILE MARCH FROM DELANO
TO SACRAMENTO. TO PROTEST THE
EXPLOITATION OF AGRICULTURAL
WORKERS DR MARTIN LUTHER KING
SENT A TELEGRAM TO CESAR CHAVEZ
IN NINETEEN SIXTY SIX. EARLY IN
THE FIVE YEAR DELANO GRAPE
STRIKE A GRAPE STRIKE I VIVIDLY
REMEMBER AS A KID BECAUSE I LOVE
GRAVES AND MY PARENTS ADAMANTLY
WOULD NOT BUY GRAPES DURING THAT
PERIOD AND I PART THROUGH A
COUPLE TANTRUMS. BUT DR KING
STATED IN THAT TELEGRAM OUR
SEPARATE STRUGGLES ARE REALLY
ONE. A STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM FOR
DIGNITY AND FOR HUMANITY KING
STATED WE ARE TOGETHER WITH YOU
IN SPIRIT AND IN TERMINATION
THAT OUR DREAM FOR A BETTER
TOMORROW WILL BE REALIZED. THE
SNICK. SNICK WAS ARE NOT ONLY
THE ONLY BLOCK ORGANIZATION TO
SUPPORT YOU OF W. LATER ON THE
N. DOUBLE ACP THE NATIONAL URBAN
LEAGUE THE SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN
LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE IN THE
BLACK PANTHER PARTY BACKED UFW
STRIKES AND BOYCOTTS AGAINST
CALIFORNIA AGRIBUSINESSES.
THROUGHOUT THE LATE SIXTIES AND
EARLY NINETEEN SEVENTIES SHARES
CESAR. THE CHAVEZ SAW PARALLELS
IN THE WAY THAT AFTER AMERICANS
WERE TREATED IN THE UNITED
STATES TO THE WAY THAT HE AND
HIS FELLOW MEXICAN AMERICANS
RETREATED. HE ABSORBED MANY OF
THE TACTICS THAT AFTER AMERICAN
CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS. AND
ACTIVISTS HAD EMPLOYED
THROUGHOUT THE SIXTIES APPLYING
THEM TO ITS OWN MOVEMENT. HE WAS
WILLING TO TAKE RISKS AND
SACRIFICE HIS OWN HEALTH AND
LIFE FOR THIS COSTS. TO STATE
THE UNITED FARM WORKERS CONTINUE
THE TRADITION OF COLLABORATION
BY WORKING ALONG WITH MANY LABOR
AND RACIAL JUSTICE ORGANIZATIONS
MEMBERS TOMORROW THERE'S NOT A
DAY OFF BUT A DAY ON A DAY OF
SERVICE IN MEMORY OF A GREAT
LEADER CESAR CHAVEZ THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATE CRITICIZING.
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT TO. I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF SR TWENTY TWO
OBSERVE CESAR CHAVEZ DAY IN THE
CITY CALIFORNIA AND OF COURSE
HONOR CHAMPION OF WORKING
PEOPLE- I WOULD JUSTIFIABLY BE.
ACCUSED OF BEING REMISS- THIS
WEEKEND IN SAN JOSE. IF I DID
NOT RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
RESOLUTION- BY PEOPLE LIKE
FORMER ASSEMBLYMEMBER NOR
COMPOSTS- FORMER ASSEMBLYMAN JOE
KOTO MY OWN FATHER WHO IS NINETY
YEARS OLD NOW FORMER SILLIMAN
DOMINIC CORTESE. WHO WORKED VERY
VERY CLOSELY WITH CESAR CHAVEZ
DURING HIS TIME IN THE
LEGISLATURE AND BEFORE. THE
REASON I WOULD BE ACCUSED OF
BEING REMISS IS BECAUSE THE
ORGANIZING THAT WE HEAR ABOUT
THE CSO TRAINING OCCURRED IN MY
DISTRICT AT A PLACE CARL CALLED
OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE CATHOLIC
PARISH. IN THE BACK IN A PLACE
CALLED MCDONALD HALL- I WAS VERY
PRIVILEGED IN TWO THOUSAND SEVEN
TO HELP LEAD THE EFFORT. TO
IDENTIFY PERMANENTLY OF COURSE
OF MCDONNELL HALL AS PART OF THE
CESAR CHAVEZ NATIONAL MONUMENT
WHICH EXTENDS FROM THE PLANO
WELL INTO CALIFORNIA. BUT I'M
EVEN MORE PROUD WHICH- DATING
MYSELF AS I SOMETIMES DO WHEN I
RISE HERE A TO HAVE BEEN TAGGING
ALONG WITH MY FATHER IN NINETEEN
SIXTY EIGHT DURING HIS FIRST
RACE FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR AT A
TIME. WHEN MUCH OF THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS IN THAT COUNTY WAS
VERY REACTIONARY- I THINK MOST
OF US KNOW THE HISTORY OF
NINETEEN SIXTY EIGHT IN MANY
WAYS INCLUDING. BOBBY KENNEDY'S
VISITS- THERE TO OUR LADY OF
GUADALUPE PARISH WHICH BECAME-
HIS LARGEST CAMPAIGN STOPS- THAT
I'M AWARE OF- DURING- THAT
NINETEEN SIXTY EIGHT CAMPAIGN
WHEN HE WON- THE CALIFORNIA
DELEGATES- IN AND WAS LATER
ASSASSINATED- I WAS. ALLOWED TO
TAKE LONG IN TO SEE FIRSTHAND
WHAT WAS THEN REALLY REFER TO
NOT JUST AS THE STRUGGLE- OR THE
UNITED FARM WORKERS MOVEMENT BUT
AS THE CHICANO MOVEMENT- WHICH
WAS BEGINNING TO RISE UP IN FOR
THE FIRST TIME- STIFEL OF THE
REACTIONARY. MOVEMENT THAT HAD
REALLY OF ENTRENCHED ITSELF IN
RUNNING PLACES LIKE SANTA CLARA
COUNTY IN THE CITY OF SAN JOSE
AND STARTED TO SWEEP IN. ITS OWN
CANDIDATES INTO OFFICE- WHAT
SOME OF US TODAY WOULD CALL
PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES BUT I
WOULD JUST SAY CANDIDATES WHO
WHO STOOD FOR WORKING PEOPLE AND
WHO STOOD FOR THOSE VALUES NONE
OF US SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED
IN THOSE. ORCHARDS WHERE I
WORKED AS A KID THE PAIR WITHOUT
ANY D. THAT WASN'T JUST A FOR.
WOMEN THAT WAS A WIN ON BEHALF
OF EVERYONE- EVERYONE INCLUDING
PEOPLE WHO WALK IN AND BUY AN
APPLE. AT THE GROCERY STORE THAT
NO LONGER IS COVERED WITH A THIN
LAYER OF POISON LIKE IT WAS. THE
FACT THAT WE SEE KNOWN WE SAW
TROUBLE INTO THE CENTRAL VALLEY-
INTO A DISTRICTS- OF THAT MANY
OF YOU REPRESENT. THAT WE SEE
SANITARY CONDITIONS THAT ARE
MANDATED BY LAW AND THOSE ARE
JUST BENEFITING MEMBERS OF THE
UNITED FARM WORKERS THOSE ARE
BENEFITING EVERYONE INCLUDING
THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF
FARMERS THEMSELVES. WHO NO
LONGER ARE OUT THERE- THAT
SUFFERING IN THOSE SAME KINDS OF
CONDITIONS. OF THESE ARE OUR
LASTING LEGACIES. JUST FIVE
YEARS AGO. I WAS AGAIN
PRIVILEGED BE INVITED SPEAK- ON
THE SAME PROGRAM IS KERRY
KENNEDY OF BOBBY KENNEDY'S
DAUGHTER. AS WE CELEBRATED THE
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. OF THE
HEALTH CARE PROGRAM THAT WAS
STOOD UP BY THE UNITED FARM
WORKERS. IN THAT AND OVERSEE
APPROPRIATE I THINK WAS HELD IN
SAN JOSE. IN FRONT OF MCDONALD'S
HALL ON THE OUR LADY OF
GUADALUPE SITE- KERRY WHO IS
THREE YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME- IN
ENGAGE ME IN CONVERSATION ABOUT.
THAT FATAL YEAR OF NINETEEN
SIXTY EIGHT BUT ALSO. A YEAR-
WHICH WAS- REALLY I THINK THE
BEGINNING OF. OF THE RESURGENCE
OF A MOVEMENT THAT STARTED JUST
A FEW YEARS BEFORE. THE PUT IT
ALL IN PERSPECTIVE
GEOGRAPHICALLY IN TERMS OF WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT AND THEN I'LL
CONCLUDE. OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
PARISH THIS ORGANIZING PLACE IS
A BLOCK AWAY- FROM THE SAN
ANTONIO AND SCHARFF AVENUE.
WHERE THE SHOP IS FAMILY HOME.
HAS NOW BEEN NOT ONLY IDENTIFIED
AS THE STATE LANDMARK BUT IT'S
JUST BEEN PURCHASED BY A
NONPROFIT GROUP CALLED
LEGALISTIC WHAT LUPE A WHICH
WILL MAKE SURE IN PERPETUITY
THAT THAT HOUSE REMAINS. A
COMMUNITY ASSET AND JUST. A
BLOCK AND A HALF. BUT TO THE
WEST. IS THE SAFEWAY STORE WHERE
THE GRAPE BOYCOTT STARTED WHICH
A FEW YEARS AGO WAS TURNED INTO.
THE MEXICAN HERITAGE PLAZA IN
NOW- ACCOMMODATES ARTS IN
EDUCATION ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS.
I'M VERY PROUD OF CESAR CHAVEZ'S
LEGACY IN THE MOVEMENT'S LEGACY
IN MY DISTRICT AND- I APPRECIATE
ALL OF YOU INDULGING ME IN A FEW
MINUTES SO TO SHARE SOME OF
THOSE REFLECTIONS. THANK YOU
