CW: Mentions of SA. Take care of yourself, California 🖤
CalPride is deeply disturbed by the allegations of abuse made against Cesar Chavez. We are a Latine-owned organization based in California’s Central Valley. In our work toward social justice and real change, we are committed to accountability, transparency, and safety for our communities. We cannot, and will not, celebrate any individual who has harmed those communities.
While CalPride’s offices will be closed on Tuesday, March 31st, it will not be in honor of Cesar Chavez. Rather, it will be in honor of the immigrants, farm workers, and women at the center of the UFW’s movement.
The work that the United Farm Workers Union has been praised for must be credited to Dolores Huerta, Jessie de la Cruz, Jessica Govea Thorbourne, Teresa Romero, Larry Itliong, and Philip Vera Cruz: changemakers who have been and are unwavering, powerful forces in our fight towards equity, justice, and accountability.
May we take this as an opportunity to support one another and create movements safe for women and girls.
Slide for resources, reassurance, and guidance.
