Move over, basic national parks – there’s a new historical landmark that’s about to drop some serious social justice vibes. 🙌

California politicians are pushing a groundbreaking bill to create the César E. Chávez and the Farmworker Movement National Historical Park, and it’s not just another tourist trap. This proposed park would unite four epic sites across California and Arizona that tell the story of one of America’s most badass labor rights activists.

From Delano to Sacramento: A Journey of Resistance

U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla and Rep. Raul Ruiz are leading the charge to immortalize Chávez’s incredible legacy. The proposed national park would include key locations like La Nuestra Señora Reina de la Paz in Keene, The Forty Acres in Delano, McDonnell Hall in San Jose, and the Santa Rita Center in Phoenix.

More Than Just a Park

But wait, there’s more! The bill also wants to study the legendary 300-mile “Farmworker Peregrinación National Historic Trail” – the epic march route that farm workers took from Delano to Sacramento in 1966. Talk about walking the walk of social change.

Why This Matters

In an era where workers’ rights continue to be under attack, this national park isn’t just a memorial – it’s a living testament to the power of grassroots organizing, solidarity, and the ongoing fight for dignity and respect. Chávez’s work isn’t history; it’s a blueprint for modern activism.

So buckle up, changemakers – this national park is about to make civic engagement look cooler than your latest Instagram filter. 💥
