UFW cancels 2026 Cesar Chavez Day events over unproven abuse allegations linked to Chavez, emphasizing accountability and justice.
The United Farm Workers (UFW) has canceled its participation in all Cesar Chavez Day events in 2026 due to unspecified allegations of abuse involving young women or minors linked to the late union co-founder.
The UFW stated it has no direct evidence but described the claims as deeply troubling and inconsistent with its values.
In response, the union is establishing a confidential, independent reporting process with trauma-informed support and is urging the public to focus on immigration justice and community service instead.
The César Chávez Foundation also acknowledged the allegations, expressing shock and sadness.
The decision represents a major change in how the union engages with Chavez’s legacy amid ongoing national conversations about accountability and historical figures.
