About The Cesar Chavez Foundation Founded in 1966 as the National Farm Workers Service Center by Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Richard Chavez and others with involvement from Senator Robert F. Kennedy and legendary United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther, the service center was initially conceived to help meet the social service and health needs of farm workers across the United States. When Cesar began building the farm worker movement five decades ago, he knew it would take a strong union to address the economic injustices workers suffer at the workplace. He was also convinced it would take a movement to overcome the heavy burdens of poverty, discrimination and powerlessness his people endure. For more Information visit http://chavezfoundation.org
