Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur Issues Statement in Response to Cesar Chavez Abuse Allegations

For immediate release:
Wednesday, March 18, 2026

My heart breaks for my friend Dolores Huerta and for Ana MurguĂ­a and Debra Rojas, who each bravely shared their stories of Cesar Chavez's sexual abuse and rape.

They, and all survivors, deserve our support and compassion, and we must continue to fight for survivors' voices to be heard.

We can never, ever accept sexual violence in our society.
