#CesarChavez, figure emblématique des ouvriers agricoles latinos dans les années 1970, accusé de viols
Un bouleversant témoignage à 95 ans de #DoloresHuerta

Les révélations d’une enquête du #NewYorkTimes sur le fils d’immigrés mexicains, travailleur agricole dès l’âge de 10 ans, suscite la consternation dans le pays. Plusieurs Etats ont déjà annoncé l’annulation des célébrations du 31 mars, journée d’hommage à ce héros du peuple latino instaurée par Barack Obama, en 2014.

Ahead of any steps to remove his name from César Chávez Elementary, the Las Cruces Public Schools board has solicited public input. So far, reaction has been mixed.

Just heard back from Councilor Candace Avalos after I wrote suggesting renaming César Estrada Chávez Boulevard to Union Avenue, instead of another excessively long, personality driven name, and they seem receptive to it.

Most large US cities have a street named after Cesar Chavez. This cannot stand.

Fortunately, I have a cheap and easy solution. Just add the word "Julio" to each street sign.

“History shows us that women have done this time and again—working to liberate others from a broken system, all while being neglected, unprotected, and left to suffer in silence."

“Women of color will give our whole bodies to create better worlds, and what happens? We’re stuck choosing between liberating others or advocating for ourselves. We’re burdened under the egos and fables of men who used their power to disempower us."

"She deserves justice, and we need to investigate why so many women who are the heartbeats of our movements are made to pay so dearly and are failed by the community so deeply.”

“Abusers thrive on silence. They use decorum, respectability politics, shame, and deceit to manipulate others while abusing their targets.

One of the most powerful things we can do is disrupt this cycle by telling the truth. Shoutout to Dolores Huerta for showing us how courageous we can be when we believe in ourselves."

~ Jenn M. Jackson professor of Black Studies

“The silence she kept for 60 years was not weakness. It was the impossible weight that survivors of sexual violence are forced to carry—often to protect others, often at profound cost to themselves. That she carried it while simultaneously building one of the most important labor movements in American history makes her courage almost incomprehensible."

In honor of Dolores Huerta and her courage in speaking out about her sexual abuse at the hands of previously revered farmworker organizer Cesar Chavez, Genevieve Davis and Lisa Follet offer "a collection of cross-movement statements: from labor leaders and unions, reproductive justice orgs, immigrant rights groups, scholars, writers and activists."

A majority of school board members leaned toward removing César Chávez’s name from a Las Cruces elementary school Tuesday night, but they will not take action before April, and one board member cautioned against moving too quickly.

"This [i.e., Dolores Huerta speaking out about her sexual abuse by Cesar Chavez] is an important opportunity to think about how movements for civil rights and social justice are not immune to the patriarchy and all its violence. There is no place for violence against women and gender non-binary people in the fight for economic and racial justice."

~ Maria L. Quintana
