Show Notes
In the wake of public sexual assault and abuse allegations against union organizer Cesar Chavez, organizers of the annual parade in Austin honoring him canceled their upcoming event. Now, local activists and politicians are calling for the City of Austin to change the name of Cesar Chavez Street, the East-to-West thoroughfare running through the heart of Austin. We’ve got the latest from the fallout.
Austin-area state Rep. James Talarico will need to broaden his base of support in order to win the state’s U.S. Senate seat this fall. One group of voters he’ll have to convince will be those who voted for his Democratic primary opponent: Jasmine Crockett.
