Greater San Antonio Chamber

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of César Chávez, a champion for workers’ rights and social justice. His advocacy not only transformed labor conditions nationwide but also left a lasting impact right here in San Antonio. In the 1960s and 70s, Chávez worked closely with local activists to improve wages and working conditions for farmworkers across Texas, inspiring generations to fight for equality and fairness. #satx #WeMeanBusiness #sanantoniotexas #greatersachamber #sanantoniotx
