We have a very exciting announcement to share with you. President Barack Obama has asked UFW President Arturo Rodriguez, UFW Co-Founder Dolores Huerta and members of the Chavez family to join him at the White House, today, March 31, on what would have been Chavez’ 83rd birthday.



President Obama wanted to recognize the contributions Cesar Chavez made to this nation and celebrate his rich legacy of empowering others. As part of this historic meeting, UFW president Arturo Rodriguez plans to present 10 letters from farm workers throughout the country telling their stories and asking the President to ensure immigration reform happens this year.



Please join these farm workers by sending President Obama a letter today and asking him to ensure immigration reform passes this year.

It is time for a solution and we believe the bipartisan AgJobs bill is the solution for the nation’s farm workers. We are just a few Republican senators away from having the votes to move this landmark legislation to President Obama’s desk. We already have Republican support in the House. This critical AgJobs bill would allow immigrant farm workers to earn the right to stay in this country by continuing to work in agriculture.



We know President Obama has been taking leadership on this issue. At the March 21st Immigration Reform rally, he released a video statement to the quarter of a million people assembled that said “I’ve always been your partner as we work to fix your broken immigration system and that’s a commitment I am reaffirming today.â€
