Summary of Bill HRES 271

Bill 119 H.Res. 271, also known as the "Honoring the accomplishments and legacy of César Estrada Chávez" bill, was introduced in the US Congress to recognize and celebrate the contributions of César Estrada Chávez to the labor and civil rights movements in the United States.

César Chávez was a prominent labor leader and civil rights activist who co-founded the United Farm Workers (UFW) union and dedicated his life to fighting for the rights of farm workers, many of whom were immigrants and people of color.

It also recognizes his role in inspiring future generations of activists and leaders to continue the fight for equality and justice. If passed, this bill would officially honor and commemorate the legacy of César Chávez, recognizing his significant contributions to American history and culture.
