We honor the strength and courage of Dolores Huerta and the other women who have spoken out about abuse at the hands of César Chávez. We stand with them and all survivors of sexual assault and harassment.
Their bravery serves as a powerful reminder that women have always been, and will continue to be, the backbone of the labor movement.
For all of us at CDM, confronting the reprehensible allegations against César Chávez underscores the vital importance of our work: building power alongside migrant women workers to eradicate gender-based violence in all workplaces—fields and factories alike.
The labor movement is more than any single individual. It is the collective power of millions who have fought, and continue to strive, for fairness, dignity, and justice. We are proud to be part of this movement and to advance workers’ rights alongside so many inspirational and resilient women.
