Bill > HB243

This bill enacts a new section in the Ohio Revised Code that officially designates April 5th as "Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez Ohio Community Service Day" to recognize the significant contributions of two prominent labor activists in American history. The legislation specifically honors Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez for their groundbreaking work in organizing and advocating for migrant farm workers. Huerta and Chavez co-founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962, which later became known as the United Farm Workers of America, an organization that played a crucial role in improving working conditions and rights for agricultural laborers. By establishing this commemorative day, the Ohio General Assembly aims to highlight the important social justice efforts of these two influential leaders and encourage community service in their memory.
