The legislative actions comes after a New York Times multi-year investigation into Chávez’s alleged sexual misconduct.
The report included interviews with two women who said Chávez molested them while they were underage in the 1970s.
Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the nation’s largest farmworkers union alongside Chávez, also said that Chávez sexually assaulted her. She said she had two children in secret after two sexual encounters with him.
“I’m angry and heartbroken after learning the abuse and sexual assault of César Chávez,” said Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, D-Winters. “These stories are sad and painful to hear. They demand our attention and action. For the survivors, we hear you, we’re here to support you and bring justice.”
The advancement of the measure marked a rare bipartisan moment at the state Capitol.
Here you go…. ““I’m angry and heartbroken after learning the abuse and sexual assault of César Chávez,” said Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, D-Winters.””
It has been out there for decades. As the saying goes “move along nothing to see here…. move along.”
The entire movement was a hoax. It destroyed a working system for farm workers. So why is the union considered such a big deal? Simple they funnel money and votes to the Radical Socialist Party.
And you are stupid enough to vote for the LEFT?
