PROCLAMATION

OF THE PORT OF SEATTLE COMMISSION

WHEREAS, César Chávez was an American farm worker, labor leader, and civil rights activist
who, with civil rights activist Dolores Huerta, co-founded the National Farm
Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers; and

WHEREAS, through self-sacrifice, a commitment to nonviolence, and their spirituality,
César Chávez and Dolores Huerta championed a social justice movement that
changed our nation; and

WHEREAS, the nearly 300,000 migrant and seasonal farm workers are the backbone of

Washington's agricultural sector, which, in turn, accounts for a significant portion
of all exports through the Port of Seattle; and

WHEREAS, in March 2014, President Barack Obama proclaimed March 31 as César Chávez
Day; and

WHEREAS, the month of March is also when we celebrate and honor Women's History; and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Legislature designated April 10th as the Dolores Huerta Day
in Washington State starting in 2020; and

WHEREAS, the employee Resource Group, ERG, Latinos Unidos at the Port of Seattle has led

the Port of Seattle in honoring the legacy of César Chávez during the month of
March since 2016; and

WHEREAS, the popular phrase "Sí, se puede" is attributed to the activism and civil rights work
in which the celebration of César Chávez Day on March 31st is celebrated. It was
Dolores Huerta who first said the words which translate in English to "Yes I can,
or yes, we can," as she rallied support for worker and immigrant rights; and

WHEREAS, in 2019 the Port established an Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion to

address institutional racism and increase equity, diversity, and inclusion in Port
policies, processes, and programs; and

WHEREAS, when each of us, individually and collectively, works to change things for the
better, we embody the spirit of "Sí, se puede."

NOW, THEREFORE, the Port of Seattle Commission hereby honors and recognizes
March 31st, as César Chávez Day and Dolores Huerta Day at the Port of Seattle.

Proclaimed by the Port of Seattle Commission this 23rd day of March, 2021.
