California to rename Cesar Chavez Day after sex abuse claims

The development comes as the workers movement Chavez founded reels from a bombshell New York Times investigation detailing child abuse, harassment and rape, including cases that resulted in the birth of children. "California's farmworker rights movement never has been about one individual. To the survivors who have found the courage to come forward, uplifting the movement's values of dignity and justice, and demanding accountability, our hearts are with you always," said a statement issued by senior legislators.
