Annually, the CCCAC hosts Chávez, Huerta, Itliong Month (CHI Month) in March to honor our namesake César Chávez during this Birthday Month, while recognizing that César’s work was in partnership with civil rights activists, Dolores Huerta and Larry Itliong. The month-long celebration consists of CHI Day of Celebration, and a series of programs and events that address and honor the life and legacy of César Chávez, continuing injustices farm workers are experiencing, and environmental/food justice topics. Learn more about CHI Month on the CCCAC website!
At this Open Mic, we are celebrating CHI Month by honoring the spirit of solidarity between farmworkers and civil rights activists of diverse backgrounds and Womxn's History Month by focusing on amplifying the voices and talents of woman and/or femme identified creatives!Â
