Cesar Chavez, the Mexican American labor and civil rights activist, fought valiantly for the rights of laborers, farm workers and the human rights of all. More than four decades after he sparked a labor movement the world of social justice has transformed thanks to the world of social media. As the #MeToo and #NeverAgain Twitter campaigns have demonstrated, social media and social activism, have collided to create a voice for change and revolution. Given that it was recently Cesar Chavez day, it got us to wondering, what might an icon like Chavez say and discuss with a medium like Twitter at his disposal? Here are a few guesses…
On the #MeToo Movement
On the March for Our Lives
On the DREAMERS
On police violence in the U.S.
Looks like even with only 280 characters this icon would remain just as profound!!
