The United Farm Workers (UFW) has announced that it will not participate in parades honoring founder César Chávez due to "troubling allegations" that he abused young women and possibly including minors. The allegations raise serious concerns about harm to women and minors and potentially tarnish Cháavez's legacy. This follows parades in San Antonio and Corpus Christi, Texas, which were scheduled for March 28 and 31 respectively. The UFW plans to create an independent, confidential reporting channel for potential victims and investigate accountability and repair.
