California recognizes March 31 as Cesar Chavez Day, in honor of the civil rights leader and founder of the United Farm Workers, although in Los Angeles the holiday is being observed today.

The holiday, which is Chavez's birthday, will not impact federal government offices, banks, mail delivery, or retail in terms of service stoppage. The LA County Library is holding several events this week and a march was held yesterday. To find a Cesar Chavez event near you, search by location via the UFW site.
