In the wake of the explosive sexual assault allegations against labor leader C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez<\/a>, municipalities across California are wrestling with the decision to rename the dozens of buildings, parks and roads that are currently named in Ch\u00e1vez\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n

Government leaders from across the state have already made calls to change some of these names, including in Fresno<\/a> and Sacramento<\/a>. In Bakersfield<\/a>, city officials announced Wednesday that they would pause efforts to rename a street after the late labor leader.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several lawmakers around the state \u2014 including L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn<\/a> and state Senator Shannon Grove, who represents a large swath of the Central Valley \u2014 have called for C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Day to be renamed \u201cFarm Worker Day\u201d in light of the allegations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply saddened for the victims of Cesar Chavez who have had to carry this secret for decades while every year people celebrate, march, and dedicate a holiday in his name,\u201d Grove said in a statement on social media<\/a>. \u201cI hope that people reconsider celebrating Cesar Chavez Day and instead celebrate our incredible farm workers who feed and fuel our nation with Farm Worker Day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The California Newsroom has compiled a non-exhaustive list of the parks, libraries, schools, monuments and streets named after C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez.\u00a0<\/p>\n
