The first march for Cesar Chavez began at 10am at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center then marched through the streets of downtown to the Institute of Texan Cultures. Organizers of the march had partnered with the San Antonio Food Bank to take non-perishable donations. The grandson of the late Cesar E. Chavez, Andres P. Chavez had served as the grand marshal for the march.
Chief William McManus and Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar attended the 22nd annual Cesar E. Chavez march.
Chavez was an American labor leader and civil rights leader activist who had founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962.
After the Cesar E. Chavez march concluded the March For Our Lives; a nationally linked march about ending gun violence had begun at the steps of the San Antonio City Hall ending at The Alamo with speeches by students.
