Show Notes
Los Angeles County supervisors unanimously voted to rename César Chávez Day as Farmworkers Day, following allegations of sexual assault against Chávez. The decision emphasizes the collective efforts of everyday workers and survivors, particularly women, in civil rights struggles. The county is compiling an inventory of Chávez-named assets and coordinating with cities and school districts for a smooth transition. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and the Los Angeles Unified School District have already initiated changes, maintaining the observance on the last Monday in March to honor farmworkers ongoing fight.
