Allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior and abuse of young women or girls have emerged against iconic late labor organizer Cesar Chavez, and the union he co-founded will not take part in annual celebrations of him, according to statements on Tuesday.
The Cesar Chavez Foundation, which preserves memorials including his California gravesite, said the alleged "inappropriate sexual behavior" occurred while Chavez was president of the United Farm Workers Union, which he co-founded in 1962.
The union said there were allegations that Chavez "behaved in ways that are incompatible with our organization’s values" while adding that it had no direct reports or firsthand knowledge of the claims.
"Some of the reports are family issues, and not our story to tell or our place to comment on. Far more troubling are allegations involving abuse of young women or minors. Allegations that very young women or girls may have been victimized are crushing," the union said in a statement.
Cesar Chavez Day on March 31, his birthday, was named a federal commemorative holiday by President Barack Obama in 2014, and it is a state holiday in several states including California and Texas. The day has historically included marches, service projects and educational programs.
UFW said it would not participate in any events this year, and media reports said some cities were canceling or renaming activities.

No shocker there. Same with Jesse Jackson I’d bet
Why is this coming out now? He’s been dead over thirty years.
No mas old ladies
Kinda late wouldn’t you say?
Does SF go back to Army Street?
The revolution always eats its own. Oh and it is ironic to see Mexican flags on a Cesar Chavez march given his staunch opposition to immigration from South America.
All of the left’s icons are degenerates.
What is it with people and sexual misconduct?
Cesar Chavez did not support illegal aliens.
Of course his image should be taken down. This type of allegation is always how the media gets its way.
Cesar Chavez did not support illegal aliens.
That was his “crime”.
Exactly
Bingo
He’s a regular Martin Luther King.
Because he was anti-imigration and it is another line of attack on ICE for the midterms
I predicted the day would come when Conservatives would be defending the likes of MLK and Chavez from the woke mob.
CHECK
A story as old as time...
Chavez?
Isn’t he one of the ‘alpha males’ in the democrat party, who was allowed to do whatever they wanted, including sexual abuse of girls and women.
Clinton was the ultimate alpha’ male and he was excused from any wrongdoing by the democrats. MLK also had his issues with women, and so did JFK and LBJ and Obama with his gay parties in the white house.
Chavez hated illegal immigration and open borders.
