California lawmakers are moving quickly to rename C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Day before the March 31 state holiday following publication of allegations the late United Farm Workers labor leader sexually abused minors and union co-founder Dolores Huerta.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis moment calls for honesty. It calls for reflection, and it calls for a renewed commitment to the values that the farmworker movement was built on,\u201d Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, D-Hollister, said Thursday. \u201cSo today, we stand with survivors. And let us recommit ourselves to justice, to dignity and to the people who built the farmworker movement.\u201d<\/p>\n
