Dolores Huerta, Keynote Speaker at the Sacramento ACT 2020 Fundraiser
We recognize that the recent news about the accusations of sexual misconduct by Cesar Chavez have been deeply impactful for our community and those in the field of social justice. We believe this is a time to lean into community, to support each other, to listen, and to create collective healing spaces.
We reject all forms of sexual violence and abuse, especially those against vulnerable communities.
We stand with Dolores Huerta and all survivors of sexual abuse — those that have spoken up, those still finding courage to share their truth, and those whose stories we will never know.
We recommit to stand in solidarity with farmworkers and all those that fight for justice, equity, and dignity for the most vulnerable. We remember that the movement for farmworkers has always been larger than anyone individual. Now more than ever, we call on each other to stand together and continue to organize towards the beloved community!
