Renaming March 31 Holiday to Farmworker and Agriculture Appreciation Day

A resident expressed concern that changing the holiday name erases hard-fought civil rights history and the efforts of community organizers who fought for worker rights.

A Spanish-speaking resident shared a personal history of working with Radio Campesina and Cesar Chavez, expressing sadness over the change and arguing that farmworkers and ranchers have distinct roles.

A former field worker expressed support for uniting agricultural workers and farmers under a joint title, suggesting that 'farmworker' should come first in the title.
