SACRAMENTO - Speaker of the Assembly Robert Rivas issues the following statement in support of courageous survivors:
"For survivors and their families, the weight of their pain is real and ongoing. The first priority is to listen to them with humility and compassion. The farmworker movement has never been about one man; it is bigger than any one person, and its values of dignity and justice are more important now than ever. To those who have found the courage to come forward, my heart is with you."
