California Lawmakers Rename Cesar Chavez Day Amid Sexual Abuse Allegations

California lawmakers have voted to rename Cesar Chavez Day as Farmworkers Day, set for March 31st, following fresh sexual abuse allegations against the labor leader from the 1960s. The bill, which received bipartisan support, aims to honor the entire farmworker effort rather than any one figure. Governor Gavin Newsom plans to sign it quickly, as universities and cities move to remove Chavezs name from landmarks and statues. This shift highlights the daily risks faced by farmworkers and their push for dignity on the job.
