“The UFW has learned of deeply troubling allegations that one of the union’s co-founders, Cesar Chavez, behaved in ways that are incompatible with our organization’s values. Some of the reports are family issues, and not our story to tell or our place to comment on. Far more troubling are allegations involving abuse of young women or minors. Allegations that very young women or girls may have been victimized are crushing. We have not received any direct reports, and we do not have any firsthand knowledge of these allegations.  However, the allegations are serious enough that we feel compelled to take urgent steps to learn more and provide space for people who may have been victimized to find support and to share their stories if that is what they choose.

The United Farm Workers will not be taking part in any Cesar Chavez Day activities.”

Happy César Chávez Day

Today on #CesarChavezDay, we honor a giant of the labor movement—César Chávez didn’t just fight for farmworkers, he fought for all workers to have dignity, power, and a voice on the job.

The legacy lives on. The fight continues.

Today we observe #CesarChavezDay.

Born on March 31, 1927, Cesar Chavez was a Mexican American civil rights and labor leader dedicated to improving working and living conditions for all.

“28 ppl from 8 countries became the newest citizens in the memorial garden where Helen and Cesar Chavez eternally rest.

One of the newest citizens is Argenis Salazar … he tells me the day's excitement means a lot to him, especially now that he can register to vote in a presidential election year." #CesarChavezDay

“These people who work day in, day out, who during the pandemic were considered essential workers and they were working every day and they’re not treated with the respect or dignity they deserve,” said @ufwupdates President Teresa Romero. “They want it. And they’re fighting for it.” #WeFeedYou #CesarChavezDay
