 and organized farm workers in several states. In 2000, Governor Gray Davis 
 signed SB 984, asking that school districts give an hour of instruction in 
 all schools around Chavez's March 31 Birthday about the UFW founder's 
 lessons on non-violence, self-sacrifice and social justice. Then, in the 
 afternoon, students are to engage in some form of public service 
 appropriate for their age and grade called the Cesar Chavez Day of Service 
 of Learning. \n\n“The Cesar E. Chavez Youth Leadership Conference 
 supplements what most school districts do on or around March 31 – his 
 birthday and acts as a primer for learning”, said, Aguilera, also the 
 conference coordinator, “We ask parents, students, educators and business 
 and community leaders to come out and volunteer their time to teach and 
 learn from each other on both days.” \n\nWorkshops for parents, students,

 student financial aid and scholarships and career information workshops

 and dance, medicine, law enforcement and pro athletes. \n\nThe Conference
