March 31st commemorates the iconic labor leader’s birthday, and occasioned marches and celebrations in different California cities, all echoing the same political sentiment: the fight for farmworker wages and for Latinos’ rights are connected, and current generations must engage actively, raise their voices, and challenge political leaders to listen. “California has the eighth largest economy in the world. One in eleven billionaires lives in California. Don’t tell me there’s no money.” A more detailed story is on Access Sacramento.
