Back to EpisodesUnited Farm Workers Skip Chávez Day, Focus on Immigration Justice
Description
The United Farm Workers union, co-founded by César Chávez, has decided to skip César Chávez Day events due to troubling new allegations against him. This move challenges a long-standing tradition honoring farmworkers rights. Chávezs complicated history, including his stance against undocumented immigrants, adds complexity to the current concerns about his legacy. The union is now partnering with experts to create a private reporting channel for those harmed by Chávez. Instead of celebrating Chávez Day, the group encourages allies to support immigration justice rallies and local farmworker initiatives on March thirty-first.
