Tucson City Government Shuts Down Monday in Honor of César Chávez Day

All city offices in Tucson will be closed on Monday, March 31, in honor of César Chávez Day. This annual observance celebrates the legacy of civil rights leader César Chávez, who co-founded the United Farm Workers and dedicated his life to advocating for labor rights and social justice.

Emergency services will remain operational during this closure, ensuring public safety and support remains uninterrupted. The shutdown of non-emergency offices allows employees and residents to reflect on the importance of Chávez’s contributions to workers’ rights.

This event underscores the city’s commitment to honoring significant cultural and historical figures in the community. Residents are encouraged to participate in local events commemorating Chávez’s impact on social justice movements.
