Cesar's Core Values
 
 
 

In the spring, NFWM traditionally encourages each of our supporters to celebrate Cesar's birthday by sharing your commitment to farm worker justice with others. Your commitment changes others.

Use this time of celebration & remembrance to continue Cesar's work. Look over the ideas and resources below and choose something that works for you.

“What do we want the church to do? We ask for its presence with us, beside us, as Christ among us. We ask the church to sacrifice with the people for social change, for justice and for love of brother and sister. We don’t ask for words. We ask for deeds. We don’t ask for paternalism. We ask for servanthood.”
