Show Notes
Californias state Senate unanimously passed AB 2156, renaming Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day. The bill, if signed by Governor Newsom, would honor all agricultural workers in the state, not just Chavez, amidst recent allegations against him. Lawmakers from Kern County supported the bill, emphasizing the importance of farmworkers to Californias food supply. The shift aims to better reflect the contributions of everyone in the fields, potentially broadening the holidays meaning for future generations.
