SAN DIEGO - Mayor Todd Gloria has issued the following statement in response to abuse allegations involving Cesar Chavez:
"The allegations of abuse involving Cesar Chavez are shocking and disturbing. Our first concern must be with the survivors who have come forward and those who were unable to do so. Their courage in speaking out - often at great personal cost - ought to be recognized, respected, and supported.
"The hard-fought progress the farmworker-rights movement has achieved over the past six decades is a collective accomplishment. Generations of organizers and workers have advanced dignity, safety, and fairness in the fields, improving lives across our state and nation. That legacy belongs to the movement and to the people who carried it forward."
