California Soccer Clubs Team up to Support California Farm Workers on Cesar Chavez Day
March 31, 2021 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Sacramento Republic FC News Release
In honor of Cesar Chavez Day, five professional soccer clubs are teaming up with the United Farm Workers Foundation to raise funds in support of farm workers in California. Sacramento Republic FC, San Jose Earthquakes, Los Angeles Football Club, LA Galaxy, and Oakland Roots are matching the first $3,000 of donations to create more farm worker-specific COVID-19 vaccination clinics in California.
Cesar Chavez Day celebrates the life and work of one of America's greatest champions for social justice. Chavez, an American farm worker, educator, activist, founded the National Farm Worker Association (now known as United Farm Workers) with Dolores Huerta, and Gilbert Padilla. The association fought tirelessly to improve the working conditions of farm workers from all backgrounds.
Through the United Farm Workers Foundation, the organization has responded quickly during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep farm workers safe and healthy through PPE drives and vaccination clinics.
