#farmworkers-day

A committee is being established to lead the process of renaming Cesar Chavez Street, 30 years after the name supplanted Army Street, and following the revelation that the workers' rights icon sexually assaulted women and girls. It took the state of California just a matter of days to rename Cesar Chavez Day, the state holiday that falls on March 31, as Farmworkers Day, following the bombshell March revelations from multiple women that Chavez had assaulted them in the 1970s.
