Every year on March 31 we honor the life of Cesar Chavez. This year, 2012, it also kicks off the 50th anniversary celebration of United Farm Workers (UFW), the organization founded by Cesar Chavez with the help of other early movement activists like Dolores Huerta. 50 years fighting for justice! CompassPoint is proud to be working with both the UFW Foundation and the Dolores Huerta Foundation through our Fundraising Academy for Communities of Color initiative to help them with their fundraising efforts during this anniversary year. CompassPoint’s Multicultural Work Group, an internal staff committee that helps to build our organization’s and staff members’ multicultural awareness, also wanted to commemorate this occasion by sharing information on how Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers union have touched people’s lives throughout the last 50 years. We are happy to share some of what we’ve learned with you in CompassPoints of View.
