LOS ANGELES, CA—MARCH 21, 2024—Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is hosting Cesar Chavez Day to celebrate the life and legacy of Cesar Chavez at the iconic Old Ticket Concourse at Union Station in Los Angeles on March 30.

Kennedy has continued the legacy of his father, Robert F. Kennedy, who was a good friend of Cesar Chavez and a staunch supporter of farmworkers throughout his life. RFK Jr. continued his father's work by joining farmworkers to fight against the poisoning of workers and consumers. He was a pallbearer at Chavez’s funeral after the legendary labor leader passed away in 1993.
