"Why is it that the people who do the most sacred work in our nation are the most oppressed, the most exploited?"

Dolores Huerta

“Dia de la Madre honors the nurturing of all humanity.”

This mother and her son look over the valley in rural Oregon where they make their home. Contrary to our recent history, it’s unclear if they have a future anywhere in America.

“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

“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."

~ Feminist Majority Foundation

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."

"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."

"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.'"

"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?"

"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."

"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."

"I’ve seen a few more conservative types commenting on the Chavez story with something akin to, “See, abuse happens in liberal circles, too.” And that’s true, it can, and it does.

But this kind of statement is also misleading."

"If Chavez was anything like legions of other men, including Epstein and Pelicot, then he abused and raped girls and women out of the arrogant belief that he had the right to — that their experience of his crimes did not matter. That they did not matter in their bodily autonomy, their dignity, or their personhood."

"We have, in the Chavez case, an important reminder that even progressive politics and the passionate belief in certain kinds of justice is no bulwark against the misogyny that envisages girls and women as, effectively, human property."

"We are taught to hold everything together, to sacrifice ourselves, to endure quietly for the greater good. In Dolores’s own words, she stayed silent for her family, her community, and the farmworker movement to which she devoted her life.

Pues ya basta. Enough is enough."

#CesarChavez #DoloresHuerta #SexualAbuse #rape #women #Latina #patriarchy #misogyny #farmworkers

"And yet, some will still ask the familiar, painful question: Why did she stay silent for so long?

The answer is both simple and devastating. This is what too many women do — especially Latina women. We are raised to be caregivers before anything else; protectors of our families, our children, our communities."

"She — and the women who endured in silence for the sake of the movement — are the ones we must uplift now. They are the ones who deserve our reverence, our gratitude, and our protection.

It is almost impossible to fathom the depth of trauma, isolation, fear, and heartbreak Dolores Huerta has carried for six decades — largely alone."

The #farmworkermovement has always been bigger and far more important than any one individual. Cesar’s actions do not diminish the permanent improvements achieved for #farmworkers with the help of thousands of people. We must continue to engage and support our community, which needs advocacy and activism now more than ever.
