Raised into the life of a migrant farm worker, he toiled alongside men, women, and children who performed daily, backbreaking labor for meager pay and in deplorable conditions. They were exposed to dangerous pesticides and denied the most basic protections, including minimum wages, health care, and access to drinking water. Cesar Chavez devoted his life to correcting these injustices, to reminding us that every job has dignity, every life has value, and everyone \u2014 no matter who you are, what you look like, or where you come from \u2014 should have the chance to get ahead,\u201d Obama proclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>Cesar Chavez&#8217;s life and legacy inspires people and organizations today to become a voice for the unheard. At Hope Services, we draw inspiration from Cesar Chavez in our efforts to improve the quality of life of individuals with developmental disabilities, with the dream of a society that welcomes the ability and value of all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>What dreams do you have?
