Los Angeles, CA – LACYD is horrified by the accounts of sexual abuse Cesar Chavez inflicted on Dolores Huerta, Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, and others – a grotesque betrayal of the trust and power he held.
We stand unequivocally with them and with every survivor of sexual violence – those who have spoken out and those who have not.
The farmworkers movement’s achievements belong to the countless workers, organizers, and leaders who made extraordinary sacrifices to win dignity and justice for working people across our nation.
We join the calls to rename our March public holiday to appropriately honor their legacy and recognize the work ahead.
