Montalvo said he was grateful that community members had showed up to honor Chávez's legacy by giving back, but added that the day also served as a reminder of the fight that continues. “I hope that today also inspires us to connect to the current struggle in the fields,” he said. ”We still have a lot of exploitation and problems that are happening in our food system. So I hope today’s also a reminder that, every time we eat food, we have to give thanks to a farmworker.”
