Civil rights organization pushes to rename César Chávez Street to Maria Jimenez


The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Council 60 continues to honor the legacy of Houston social justice champion Maria Jimenez. Her lifelong fight for human rights, immigrant dignity, and community empowerment still inspires our work today. That’s why LULAC Council 60 is pushing for the City of Houston to rename César Chávez Street in her honor as a tribute to a woman who shaped policy, protected the vulnerable, and uplifted generations across our city.
