Show Notes
The United Farm Workers union, founded by Cesar Chavez, is distancing itself from Cesar Chavez Day celebrations due to serious allegations of abuse against young women and minors during the unions early days. The union is setting up an independent channel for victims to come forward confidentially. The Cesar Chavez Foundation has confirmed the allegations, which are incompatible with the unions values. Instead of celebrations, the union is urging supporters to join immigration justice efforts and community service for farm workers.
