In Cesar Chavez’s Labor Union, Women Often Worked in Fear

Putting men who don't respect women into positions of power has devastating consequences not just for the women involved, but also for entire movements. New reporting from the NYT that Chavez wasn't the only one inside the UFW to harass and assault women. Gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/u...

Well this is a horrific account of more rape and abuse in the 70s era UFW and also indicates why rushing to rename things for Dolores Huerta might be pretty fraught. Gift link 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/u...)

The heartbreak and betrayal of the stories of these women is terrible. And it was endemic in so many organizations seeking justice along one vector or another. This idea that some members have to be sacrificed or sacrifice themselves to the movement. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/u...

So upsetting to hear of years of #sexual abuse & #rape @ #UnitedFarmWorkers that extends well beyond Cesar Chavez. My heart goes out to all the survivors who had to endure such awful experiences while pursuing their passion to uplift farmworkers. #sexualharrassment www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/u...
