Ramirez Statement Following Cesar Chavez's Revelations

Washington, DC -Today, Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03) released the following statement:

"Over and over again, we are confronted with how patriarchy, misogyny, and abuses of power impact women and girls. Our movements for justice and equity are not immune from impact of these systems, nor are individual leaders within them. I unequivocally stand with all the survivors of César Chávez's abuse and am committed to building a world where sexual violence, sexual harassment, and sexual exploitation are eradicated, and those who perpetrate these injustices are held accountable. We will continue to fight for the rights of all workers and a day when our movements and workplaces are free of domination, violence, and abuse."
