CSUSM hosts the annual César Chávez Day of Service (CCDoS), along with MiraCosta College’s (MCC) Service Learning and Volunteering Center and Palomar College’s Service Learning Program.

We serve to honor the legacy of César Chávez, and the contributions of farm workers to our society. César Chávez, Dolores Huerta, and Larry Itliong fought for workers’ rights among countless farmworkers and allies, and their impacts extend beyond the Latinx community. To learn more about the history of César Chávez’s fight for farmworkers’ rights, watch “César’s Last Fast.” To learn more about co-founder of the UFW, Dolores Huerta, and about how Larry Itliong and other Filipino workers started the famous Grape Boycott, watch the documentary “Dolores.” Both films are available for stream through the CSUSM library.
