    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.

  11. “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."

    ~ Dr. Jamila K. Taylor, president and CEO of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research

  12. “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."

    ~ Camille Hernandez, author

  13. "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.”

    ~ Ijeoma Oluo, activist and author:

  14. “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

  15. “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."

    ~ Feminist Majority Foundation

  16. 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."

  20. "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

  22. David Alvarado won the Festival Favorite award at the Sundance for “American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez.” The documentary was a portrait of the playwright who used his artistic abilities to help his childhood friend Cesar Chavez deliver a pro-labor message to farm workers around California. Then earlier this week The New York Times published a bombshell report in which multiple women accused Chavez of sexually abusing them when they were as young as 12. The allegations have sparked a difficult discussion around how to separate a movement from its leader. Read more from @IndieWire:

  24. "I'm speaking to other men like what the heck are we doing as young boys, teenagers, young men, people who achieve a level of wealth, status, power that this is acceptable? ...

    Because ultimately this has to come down to guys telling other guys, "Hell no. No, this cannot be acceptable.'"

  25. "When these occurrences happen, which is tragically frequently, I find myself wondering what is going on in male culture that breeds this mindset. It's a systemic thing. This is affecting men who are wealthy and poor, white, black, and people of color in sall different sectors and fields. And it's like what the heck are we doing?"

  26. "But these days, as opposed to Cesar Chavez’s days, when women’s rights lagged behind other civil rights advances, there’s a lot more of it in conservative religious settings that intentionally elevate men above women, use harsh parenting to teaching children to unquestioningly obey authority, and restrict women’s roles."

  27. "Because whether you’re talking about Cesar Chavez or Joseph Duggar—that’s right, a second Duggar son has been arrested for the sexual abuse of children—it’s all the same thing.

    It’s patriarchy. It’s the abuse of power. It’s some people being assigned a lesser value than other people.

    It can happen anywhere, and it does."
