Today, March 31, is Cesar Chavez Day, and for those of us in the Latino community, this day and year are more significant than others.

Latinos are the targets of a xenophobic, anti-immigrant wave that is washing over our nation simply because a false narrative about our community has been constructed.

On this Cesar Chavez Day, let’s not just remember the struggle of the Latino farmworker, which is still ongoing. But as we eat our lunch or dinner today, remember that meal would never have been possible without a Latino food industry worker.

Trans Day of Visibility, recognized on March 31st each year, celebrates transgender and gender-expansive people, and acknowledges the work that remains to be done to end discrimination and violence against trans people. With unprecedented attacks on trans Americans from local school districts to the Oval Office, it is more important than ever to fight for the rights of some of the most marginalized among us. At the California Women’s Law Center, we recognize that cisgender women must stand together with trans folks in our efforts to protect bodily autonomy and freedom of expression for all. To learn about the ongoing efforts in the California Legislature to protect and expand the rights of trans Californians, check out Equality California's legislation list: https://www.eqca.org/legislation/ #
