"Today, Californians and all Americans honor César Chávez, a fearless champion for justice and a tireless civil rights activist. Chávez was an icon of the modern labor movement, leading the United Farm Workers' fight for better pay and protections against exploitation.

Building on Chávez's legendary advocacy, House Democrats have taken action to ensure that nobody who works to feed our country is limited to permanent second class status, twice passing the bipartisan Farm Workforce Modernization Act.

House Democrats have also twice passed the Richard L. Trumka PRO Act to reform our nation's outdated labor laws and strengthen Americans' right to join a union.

While Democrats continue fighting to enact these urgently needed reforms, our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is delivering historic investments to communities across the country -- creating good-paying union jobs with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage protections.

As Americans celebrate César Chávez's remarkable achievements, let his example inspire our shared fight to defend the fundamental rights & dignities of working people. Today, & every day, we proudly stand with our partners in the labor movement as we work to #BuildaBetterAmerica."
