Washoe County Commission proclaims César Chávez Day / del dia de César Chávez 2017

César Chávez Celebration XV Wednesday 29 March 2017 / Mandalay Ballroom / Circus Circus Reno XV Celebración del día de César Chávez Miércoles, Marzo 29 2017 En el Mandalay Ballroom / Circus Circus Reno, Nevada RENO, Nevada, USA — Nevada César Chávez Celebration XV happens Wednesday, March 29, 2017, at Circus Circus Hotel-Casino in Reno. Doors to the Mandalay Ballroom open at 5:30 p.m., dinner at 7:00 p.m.      Las Vegas 8-14-1992 — César Chávez with picketers at the Frontier Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. The Frontier strike lasted more than eight years and garnered worldwide attention as the longest-running strike in the country. The union won. (Photo courtesy of Culinary Workers Union Local 226.)   Entertainment will again be provided by popular local musicians César Perez and Ángel Rodriguez. Ballet Folklorico de La Sierra is also making a repeat engagement after being the hit of the evening last year. As always, the event will have both light and serious aspects. Past evenings have included presentations from undocumented U.S. residents nicknamed "Dreamers" who came here as small children and by supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (After four decades of trying, the latter passed the Nevada Legislature last week.) With the legislature now in session, a number of lawmakers may attend as they have in the past. NevadaLabor.com César Chávez Hall of Famers Darlene Jesperson, Joe Neal and Bob Price will also be present. The event will be digitized and segments will be used in an upcoming TV special. A new television campaign for César Chávez XV broke earlier this week on KTVN TV-2 sponsored by Laborers' International Union Local 169, the major supporter of the annual event for the past decade. The video features César Chávez meeting with Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-NY, and marching with San Francisco Mayor George Moscone. One segment shows Washoe County Commissioner Kitty Jung greeting Librado "Lee" Chávez at the 2008 celebration. A familiar face in Reno, Lee Chávez passed away last year, as did Mrs. Helen Chávez, César's widow. Their contributions will be remembered Wednesday evening. Longtime Reno resident Ramon Chávez, César's nephew and Librado's son, accepted the Washoe County Commission's annual Chávez Day proclamation last week. Ramon Chávez and his wife, Heather, will again represent their family on Wednesday. The TV campaign also includes scenes of César Chávez marching with Culinary Union leaders D. Taylor and Geoconda Arguello-Kline during the Frontier Hotel Strike on the Las Vegas Strip. The union went on to win what became the longest strike in U.S. history. Culinary Local 226 represents the Circus Circus workers who will cater Wednesday's event. The food will be authentic Mexican as certified by Rep. Ruben Kihuen, D-Nev. Before he was elected to Congress last year, Kihuen praised the hotel's cuisine as the real thing. He is well-qualified to judge because he was born in Mexico. While serving in the Nevada Legislature, Kihuen was the principal sponsor of the 2009 César Chávez Day bill which is now state law. (Nevada Revised Statutes 236.027/AB301-Kihuen et al./2009). He delivered the event's keynote address on several occasions. Long before he became an international figure, César Chávez traveled to northern Nevada on worker business, according to Reno-Sparks NAACP matriarch Dolores Feemster who met with him in the 1960s. As usual, NAACP representatives will be registering voters Wednesday night. Reno's first César Chávez Day was declared on July 15, 1986, by then-Mayor Pete Sferrazza. Chávez spoke before a regional gathering of the International Association of Machinists, then to a general meeting of union members at the American Federation of Musicians Local 368 auditorium. History and photos of that day and all recent celebrations may be accessed at CesarChavezNevada.com/ ¡Sí se puede! Tickets may be purchased online at the website. Seating is limited and reservations are strongly encouraged. César Chávez was born near Yuma, Ariz., on 31 March 1927 and died in 1993 at age 66. In 1994, President Clinton honored him with a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award. The U.S. Postal Service issued a first class stamp in his honor in 2003 sparking the annual Reno celebrations. In 2013, President Obama issued a proclamation for César Chávez Day. As a candidate in 2008, he endorsed making Chavez's birthday a national holiday. Petitions have been signed at previous Reno events and forwarded to Washington. ¡Sí se puede! Be well. Raise hell. / Esté bien. Haga infierno.

7-15-1986: César Chávez returned to Reno

Obama pays tribute to late Reno labor leader THE WAY WE WERE — The above is a recently discovered photo from July 15, 1986. Left to right are Kathy Brown, Culinary Union Local 86 office manager; Miguel Contreras, Local 86 Secretary-Treasurer; Local 86 President Bill Uehlein; a lady named Natalie (anyone who knows her last name, please write), and César Chávez. This item was first published in Ahora, northern Nevada's Spanish-English weekly, on March 26, 2008. (On 3-19-2009, President Obama paid tribute to Brother Contreras as he spoke in the L.A. building named after the late labor leader. See the 1986 Chávez Reno archive, below.) If you have any information about César Chávez's earlier visits to northern Nevada, please give a holler. It's important.

More stories and photos from César Chávez's 1986 Reno visit       UFW FLAG ART presented by César Chávez to Reno Musicians Union Local 368 Secretary-Treasurer Beth Shay at Reno César Chávez Day I on July 15, 1986. Each color is symbolic — black for the dark situation of the farmworkers of the time; red for toil and sacrifice and the white circle for hope. Chávez himself designed it. When César Chávez came to Reno     How often do we get to meet the great men of our age? Of the great apostles of nonviolence who have lived in our time and generations, I got to meet only one, but that was a meaningful one. César Chávez's (1986) visit to Reno gave me the opportunity to meet him, to shake his hand, to stand in his presence. It was an honor, one of the privileged moments of my life.      On March 10, 1968, Robert Kennedy went to Delano to be with César when he broke his fast for nonviolence. Senator Kennedy said to César's supporters in the farm workers, "And when your children and grandchildren take their place in America, going to high school and college and taking good jobs at good pay — when you look at them, you will say, 'I did this. I was there, at the point of difficulty and danger'. And though you may be old and bent from many years of labor, no man will stand taller than you when you say, 'I marched with César'."      We have not been very good custodians of that hope. Good jobs at good pay seem further away than ever. We have to do better. César's example calls. — Courtesy of longtime Nevada reporter Dennis Myers' Poor Denny's Almanac Used by permission.

Lougaris VA Medical Center-Reno Washoe County Commissioner Kitty Jung DoctorLawyerWatch.com Sponsorship and ticket prices       César E. Chávez was born on March 31, 1927, on a small farm near Yuma, Arizona. At 10 years of age, he began life as a migrant farm worker. This ultimately led to his cause or "La Causa," advocating for better wages and working conditions for the nation's farm workers. In 1952, he began the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) to strive for equal rights for agricultural workers.        César Chávez learned from and practiced the non-violent principles of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mohandas K. Gandhi. Chávez died on April 23, 1993, at the age of 66. He was posthumously awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994. The United States Postal Service issued a commemorative first class stamp bearing his image in 2003. HISTORY: MARCH COUNTDOWN TO CHÁVEZ DAY On March 10, 1968, Sen. Robert Kennedy, D-NY, and César Chávez met in Delano, California, for the breaking of Chavez's anti-violence fast. Chávez's physicians had contacted Kennedy to ask for his help in convincing Chávez to end his fast before it did more damage to his health. On March 17, 1966, farm workers led by César Chávez began a march from Delano to Sacramento. On March 31, 1927, César Chávez was born near Yuma, Ariz. New York Times obituary, April 24, 1993: "Mr. Chávez, who was described by Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 as 'one of the heroic figures of our time,'was widely acknowledged to have done more to improve the lot of the migrant farm worker than anyone else. Fighting growers and shippers who for generations had defeated efforts to unionize field workers, and later fighting rival unionists, Mr. Chávez for the first time brought a degree of stability and security to the lives of some migrant workers. Largely because of him, the California Legislature in 1975 passed the nation's first collective bargaining act outside Hawaii for farm workers, who are largely excluded from Federal labor law coverage. 'For the first time,' Mr. Chávez said when asked to describe the union's achievement, 'the farm worker got some power.' Asked what had motivated his stubborn fight, he said, 'For many years I was a farm worker, a migratory worker, and, well, personally — and I'm being very frank — maybe it's just a matter of trying to even the score.'"
