Show Notes
Recent allegations of sexual abuse against Cesar Chavez by women in the farmworkers union highlight a culture of fear and intimidation in the male-dominated labor movement. Grassroots groups led by women have made significant strides since Chavezs death, winning federal probes, new laws, and better protections for farmworkers. Despite feeling betrayed, advocates emphasize the movements success is due to countless leaders, especially women whose parents picked crops. With eighty percent or more of the one million hired farmworkers facing sexual harassment, efforts by groups like Líderes Campesinas have proven social justice relies on many voices, not just one hero.
