FIRST-GENERATION AMERICAN ESTADOUNIDENSE DE PRIMERA GENERACION For much of our nation's history, the people who labor to put food on our table were out of sight and mind, powerless to confront the industry and laws that worked against them. Out of the dusty California fields, Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Larry Itliong, and countless others built a movement that brought migrant workers to the attention of the world. Established in 2012, Cesar E. Chavez National Monument commemorates the life and work of this great American and the ongoing struggle for human rights. Por mucha de la historia de nuestra nacion, los que laboran para poner la comida en nuestras mesas quedaban fuera de la vista y fuera de la mente. No ternan el poder para enfrentar ni la industria agricola ni las leyes. Surgieron desde 105 sembradios polvorientos de California Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Larry Itliong y innumerables otros quienes crearon un movimiento que enfoco la atencion del rnundo a la situacion diffcil de los campesinos. Este monument national, establecido en 2012, conmemora la obra y vida de este prohombre norteamericano y la lucha incesante por los derechos humanos. Cesar Estrada Chavez was born in 1927 to Mexican immigrants outside Yuma, Arizona. The family lost their farm during the Great Depression of the 1930s. They soon joined the hundreds of thousands of other migrant laborers streaming into California from the Southwest and Midwest.

'A VOICE FOR FARM WORKERS PORTAVOZ DE LOS CAMPESINOS MARCH TOWARD UNITY LA MARCHA HACIA LA UNIDAD A LEGACY OF "WE" UN TESTAMENTO DE NOSOTROS After 10 years as a community organizer, where he worked hroughout California with Dolores Huerta, Gilbert Padillo, :and other activists, Chavez was ready to pursue his dream of a farm workers' union. He of all people understood the cycle of poverty that had trapped farm workers for generations. Despues de 10 anos trabajando por todo California con Dolores Huerta, Gilbert Padilla y otros activistas como organizador comunitario, Chavez estaba dispuesto a seguir su suerio de un sindicato de campesinos. EI entre todas las personas, entendio el cicio de pobreza que habia atrapado a 105 campesinos por generaciones. In 1965 Larry Itliong led Filipino American grape workers in a strike against growers. They were soon joined by the NFWA and other unions, college students, church groups, civil rights leaders, and others. The landmark strike led to a consumer boycott and a 300-mile march from Delano to Sacramento-the longest protest march in US history. En 1965, Larry Itliong y 105 obreros de ascendencia filipina emprendieron una huelqa contra los productores de uva. La NFWA y otras sindicatos, estudiantes, religiosos organizados y minorias se unieron. Esta huelga destacada provoco una boicot de consumidores y una marcha de 500 km desde Delano a Sacramento-Ia rnanifestacion mas larga en la historia estadounidense. -nergized by their success, the UFW used strikes, boycotts, marches, hunger fasts, education, and other nonviolent tactics to change laws and lives. Among their oremost achievements was California's Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975, the first state law to recognize collective bargaining rights for farm workers. Energizados por su exito, la UFW uso huelgas, boicoteos, manifestaciones, ayunos, educacion y otras tacticas no violentas para cambiar las leyes y vidas. Entre los logros mas grandes fue la Ley de Relaciones Laborales Agricolas de California en 1975, la primera ley que reconocio que los campesinos tienen el derecho de neqociacion colectiva. En 1962, Chavez deja un empleo seguro y se mudo con Helen y sus ocho hijos al pueblo de Delano. Alii, Chavez, Huerta, Padilla, Manuel Chavez, Jim Drake y Julio Hernandez fundaron la National Farm Workers Association (NFWA). En 1966 la renornbro United Farm Workers (UFW), 0 'campesinos unidos.' It also led to the nation's first union contracts between farm workers and growers, securing better pay, health benefits, protections against pesticides, and safer working conditions. n 1962, Chavez left his secure [ob and moved with Helen and their eight young children to Delano. There, Chavez, Huerta, Padilla, Manuel Chavez, Jim Drake, and Julio Hernandez founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA), renamed the United Farm Workers in 1966. Tarnbien resultaron los primeros contratos sindicales entre los obreros y los productores, asegurando sueldos mejores, beneficios para la salud, protecciones contra los plaguicidas toxicas s y condiciones laborales mas seguras.
