With communities across California preparing to observe Farmworker’s Day on March 31, the County of Imperial joins the State and others in recognizing the significance of the day and the lasting impact of farmworkers in our region.
As the State reevaluates the holiday and considers changes to its official designation, Imperial County acknowledges that its local ordinance may also need to be revised to align with that direction. Any updates would be considered through the appropriate process.
Chairwoman Peggy Price shared the following statement:
“Farm Worker’s Day” (César Chávez Day) has long been a time to recognize the hardworking farmworkers who have helped shape communities across California, including here in Imperial County. As the State moves forward in reevaluating this holiday, we stand in solidarity with those efforts while continuing to honor the vital role farmworkers play in our region.” Imperial County will continue to keep the public informed as any future updates are considered.
