WEDNESDAY – Aug 6

TODAY IS …
(All days repeat annually on today’s date unless otherwise noted; days may or may not be called “National”/”International”/”World” depending on source; sources listed often have additional info. We generally do not list special days which were created by commercial companies for the purpose of marketing – including “holidays” created by the National Day Calendar and Wellcat websites to drive traffic to their websites – or the hundreds of disease awareness listings which occur each year. We present only those specially designated days we feel your listeners would find most interesting or significant.)

NATIONAL FARMWORKERS APPRECIATION DAY
Established in 1966 by the United Farm Workers union to thank farmworkers for their hard work and to raise awareness of the challenges they face, while also serving as an opportunity to educate the public about the importance of farmworkers to the American economy. In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed a proclamation officially designating August 6th as National Farmworkers Appreciation Day. August 6th was chosen because it aligns with the peak of the harvesting season in many regions, showcasing the efforts of farmworkers during this crucial time.
