	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 371
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize the Cesar Chavez Memorial Alliance of South Texas on
	the occasion of the 12th Annual Cesar Chavez March in Laredo,
	which is taking place March 21, 2015; and

	WHEREAS, Cesar Chavez founded the National Farm Workers
	Association and used nonviolent means to gain increased rights
	and compensation for farm workers; today, the memorial alliance
	honors his legacy by advocating for the hardworking individuals
	in the farming field, especially the Chicano workers; and

	WHEREAS, This year's march is honoring the Texas Rio Grande
	legal aide attorney Guadalupe Canales and a high school senior
	and migrant worker Zulema Lopez; at the event, many of the
	speakers are former Mexican American migrant farm workers, and
	Rio Bravo Mayor Francisco I. Peña is the main speaker; and

	WHEREAS, Cesar Chavez was a celebrated leader who is
	remembered across the nation for his commitment to those who had
	little or no political representation, and the Cesar Chavez March
	is an opportunity to reflect on his monumental contributions to
	this nation's society; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
	Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Cesar Chavez
	Memorial Alliance of South Texas for their work honoring the legacy
	of Cesar Chavez and extend to them best wishes for a successful 12th
	Annual Cesar Chavez March in Laredo; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the
	organization as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
