On March 17, 1966, César Estrada Chávez began a 340-mile march from Delano, California to the State Capitol building in Sacramento with 75 Mexican and Filipino farm workers to bring awareness of working conditions and wages. The march also intended to place pressure on grape growers and state lawmakers to answer the demands of the Mexican and Filipino farm workers led by organizations that would later merge to become the United Farm Workers. Twenty-five days later on April 10, Easter Sunday, César Chávez arrived at the State Capitol with 10,000 supporters. The United Farm Workers, founded in August 1966 under the leadership of Dolores Huerta and Chávez, fought for labor and civil rights for farm workers, especially those working on grape farms. The organization today continues to fight for protections and labor rights of California farm workers.
