DESCRIPTION:A free day of arts performances, spoken word, speakers and live music at 
 the Berkeley Farmers Market, in honor of Cesar Chavez and the United 
 Farmworkers. \n\n\nBerkeley, CA-Celebrating the legacy of César Chávez is 
 not mere nostalgia. The issues he devoted his life to are still very much 
 with us. In California and the rest of the United States, no one works 
 harder and is paid more poorly than farmworkers. With the heat induced 
 death last summer of a 17 year old female farmworker and the similar deaths 
 of several other farmworkers in recent years, it is clear that farmworkers 
 are not afforded the level of on-the-job protections that most Americans 
 are. And with other states considering laws like Arizona's anti-immigrant 
 SB 1070, it should be clear to everyone that the situation around 
 immigration is not good. So, for these, and many other reasons, it remains 
 important to commemorate the life and work of César Chávez and highlight 
 the continuing human rights movement.\n\nPerformances & Presentations
