Join hundreds of students from across the nation and march in support of protecting education in Arizona on Saturday, March 19 at 8 a.m. The march is the culmination of a week dedicated to the legacies of César E. Chávez and Dolores Huerta, Latino leaders who fought for reform in education, gender inequality, and labor. The march begins at Pueblo High School (3500 S. 12th Ave.) and continues to Rudy Garcia Park (5001 S. Nogales Highway), where the rally culminates with music and guest speakers. The event is free.

  1. Unlike MOST of the readers of this story, I once met Cesar Chavez, shook his hand, in the spring of 1966 when I participated in the March to Support the Delano Grape Strike.

    The author of this story is disingenuous; he and the rest of the “pro raza” propagandists have always used Chavez’ picture to imply his support for “pro raza” open border policy, when he did not.

    Truth is: Chavez, an American citizen, was a friend of Bobby Kennedy.

    Chavez DID NOT support the use of Illegal Mexican Labor to break farm worker labor strikes and to drive DOWN the value of American labor.

    In fact, Chavez VIOLENTLY opposed it!

  4. Dolores Herta is a hateful racist bigot.

    Under the dictatorship of the Grijalva’s, she was given the stage to indoctrinate our children claiming Republicans hate latinos.

    Special places for racist bigots.
