I understand that the City of Lansing Ordinances allow for the renaming of streets.

Catherine St., Lansing, MI 48911 Lansing Memorial Board Members and City Council Members I applaud Lansing Memorial Board members for considering to name a street after Cesar E. Chavez: A man who worked endlessly to give a voice to thousands of farm workers. In doing so he brought light to those in Lansing and in Michigan who are underpaid, have no representation and work for billionaire companies that keep workers living a substandard way of life. The discussions that follow your decisions will surely point out the economics of such a change, but I sincerely hope that the benefits to Lansing residents will also be discussed and be seen as much more important. Cesar E. Chavez is a much needed, honored and recognized American hero. In a culture where violence is often used to settle differences, let Lansing citizens discuss how this man encouraged non-violence among his followers and how humility, perseverance, and strong negotiating skills accomplished his union's goals and bettered the lives of thousands. What strong goals for our families! What strong message for our youth Lansing youth and adults need a hero who promoted non-violence. A strategy that worked and was applauded by many world nations and leaders. Name a street after Cesar E. Chavez! Do not marginalize our community by not doing so.

I understand that the City of Lansing ordinances allow for the renaming of streets. As the grandson of the first Hispanic Ingham County Commissioner who once represented this part of Lansing/Ingham County on the Ingham County Board of Commissioners, and now the current Ingham County Commissioner representing this area,I witnessed the impact Cesar E. Chavez had on the Hispanic community. From his visits and marches which mobilized Hispanics throughout the Greater Lansing area,an honor of naming this street after Cesar E. Chavez is most fitting. Many Hispanic families settled their families in the North Lansing area, often referred to as"El Norte",after they were tired of migrating to Lansing when they worked as migrant farmworkers in fields around the area. Just as the former Logan Street was named after Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King Jr.,and Main Street named after Malcolm X,now is the time to honor Cesar E. Chavez with a permanent name on a street in the City of Lansing. I wholeheartedly support the efforts of the Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee to rename East Grand River Avenue to Cesar E.Chavez Avenue.I understand that this involves dropping the name East Grand River Avenue completely, eliminating the 2012 Honorary designation,and elevating its status to a city street named Cesar E. Chavez Avenue. Although community efforts to rename a street Cesar E. Chavez Avenue commenced in the 1990's, now is the time for the City of Lansing to take this final step in 2017.I hope to be celebrating the renaming of East Grand River Avenue to Cesar E.

Chavez Committee's application to rename E. Grand River Avenue and W. Grand River Ave to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue Dear City Council and Lansing Memorial Board: We fully support renaming East Grand River Avenue and West Grand River Avenue, Lansing,Michigan to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue. Lupe's parents (Efraim and Francisca Marinez) were migrant farmworkers and came to the Lansing area in the 1940's. Lupe,her parents and siblings personally met and worked alongside Cesar E. Chavez when he came to Lansing. Lupe personally experienced life in Lansing, as a daughter of farmworkers. Honoring this great man and labor leader speaks volumes about Lansing's mission to be a world-class city and model for inclusivity, diversity,and recognition of national leaders. Cesar E. Chavez,like Martin Luther King,Jr.,Mahatma Ghandi and Mother Theresa dedicated his life to the nonviolent struggle for social justice and equality for all. He organized the Farm Workers union and fought for their dignity and humane living conditions. He received numerous awards including the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, (America's highest civilian honor),and the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize. In the 1970's, Cesar E. Chavez marched from Saginaw,Michigan to Lansing, Michigan in support of farmworkers and their fight against inhumane living conditions in Michigan. Lupe's family and hundreds of others walked alongside Cesar E. Chavez in that march. Legislators heard the message and introduced legislation to improve living conditions for migrant farmworkers. Sadly,initial efforts to honor Cesar E. Chavez in 1994 with the renaming of Grand Avenue to Cesar E. Chavez Ave were undermined in 1995. Selecting East Grand River Avenue and West Grand River Avenue is most appropriate as it was the center of activities and organizations for the Latino and Hispanic communities such as El Renacimiento, a bilingual community newspaper,taquerias, restaurants (Ramon's,Torres's), Cristo Rey Church, Cristo Rey Community Center,and Quinto Sol (radio and newspaper) to name a few. For all of the above reasons,we urge you to approve the Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee's application to rename East Grand River Avenue and West Grand River Avenue to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue. Notably,Lansing has chosen to honor Martin Luther King,Jr., we hope that you will now choose to honor Cesar E. Chavez also with this street name change. ncerely, om and L- e I MSU Spartans MICHIGAN STATE ` U N I V E R S I T Y LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR RENAMING E. GRAND RIVER AVENUE, LANSING :MICHIGAN TO CtSAR E.

I understand that the City of Lansing Ordinances allow for the renaming of streets. In 2009 Michigan State University recognized the importance of honoring the life and legacy of Cesar E.

I had the pleasure of leading the charge to found this initiative and have served as the committee chair of this community event since its inception.Over the last eight years the list of organizations/individuals from across the Metro Lansing region who have partnered with us to help honor the life and continue the legacy of Cesar E.

August 91h, 2017 To: Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee It is with great pleasure that I put fourth my support for the renaming of portions of East Grand River Avenue and West Grand River Avenue in Lansing Michigan to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue. As am member of the Lansing community for over 44 years I have witnessed Lansing grow and evolve into a great city. Lansing is diverse, accepting and ever changing. This street name change would enhance and add to the great city that Lansing is. This petition to rename a street in honor of the late labor leader Cesar E. Chavez is a long time in coming. It began in 1993, when the request was to rename Grand Ave.to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue. That was granted, but later in 1995,was unfortunately overturned and rename back to Grand Ave. Lansing is the ONLY city in the nation to take away a street name for Cesar E. Chavez and rename it back to its original designation. This is a disgrace to the Lansing community, the Latino/Chicano community and puts a black eye on the city. Let us not make the same mistake again. Let us embrace our diversity,pay tribute to those who helped transform the city and be welcoming to positive change. The Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee is asking not for a radical change,only to honor a great man who fought for his country in WWII, a man who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Freedom (the highest civilian honor that can be given), a man who fought for the basic civil rights of those working in the fields, and a man who promoted social justice through non-violence. It is my belief that by renaming East Grand River Avenue and West Grand River Avenue in Lansing Michigan to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue will promote better relations between the Latino/Chicano community and both the Lansing community and specifically the Old Town Business community. Let us be the change we all want,let us stand together to honor a great man and let us work together to make Lansing a better place to live and work.
