Show Notes
Recent allegations of sexual abuse against Cesar Chavez by Dolores Huerta and other women have sparked a reevaluation of the farmworker rights movement. Despite Chavezs death in 1993, women-led groups have made significant strides in combating field harassment, securing new laws, and improving protections for farmworkers. However, challenges persist, with fear, isolation, language barriers, and immigration status hindering reports of abuse. Stories of progress in initiatives like Floridas Fair Food program highlight the ongoing need to address power imbalances in the labor world.
