State lawmakers moved Monday toward a quick repeal of a law celebrating the late labor movement leader César Chavez following reports that he had sexually abused women and girls.A group of legislators and community leaders said the Legislature should take rapid action to pull the March 31 honor to Chavez from the books. Lawmakers are busy this week to have committees act on policy bills in the narrowly split Legislature. Despite that House DFL leaders pushed to advance it on the day it was introduced through an agreement with Republicans to accelerate consideration. The bill passed 129-0.The New York Times published a lengthy investigative story last week that included on-the-record accusations of rape and child sexual abuse by women who worked around Chavez in the farm worker rights movement. Chavez died in 1993.Efforts are also underway in St. Paul to rename a road and a school named after Chavez. Mayor Kaohly Vang Her said those could take longer as city officials are aiming to draw community feedback on which name should replace Chavez in those spaces.Rep. María Isa Pérez-Vega, DFL-St. Paul, said many are still reeling from the news of allegations against Chavez. But she said it's important that Minnesota lawmakers work together to drop the holiday in his honor.“It was gutting. It still is. We're grieving but when we grieve, we don't let go of each other. We actually hold on to each other even stronger. And this is not a weakness for us,” Pérez-Vega said. “This repeal is empowering, and it's to show strength and to leave a message for not just Minnesotans, but across the nation right now, to speak up, take action, and let's bring healing.”Emilia González Avalos, executive director of Unidos Minnesota, said it's important that the state take action.“Honoring our history does not mean we stop telling the truth about it. It means that we tell the whole truth because our communities, especially our children, deserve nothing less,” González Avalos said. “Repealing César Chavez Day is about drawing a clear line that no legacy, no matter how powerful, no matter how important, stands above the safety and dignity of our children and our community,” she continued. “We can honor farm workers. We can honor the movement — La Causa. We can honor the struggle of labor rights, but we don't have to enshrine a single figure in a way that leaves no room for truth, complexity or accountability.”Republicans agreed it was the correct move to act fast.“It's an unfortunate circumstance in front of us but it's the right thing to do,” said Rep. Jon Koznick, R-Lakeville.A Senate committee has a hearing scheduled for Tuesday, meaning a vote in that chamber is likely this week as well.Gov. Tim Walz told WCCO Radio last week that he plans to withhold an annual proclamation but he can't make the law change independently. Instead, it would be up to state lawmakers."This certainly clouds that legacy, and we should reassess it,” Walz said. “I would hope they would do something on that, but we won't be putting out anything. And I just want to make sure I stay in line with what the Legislature and statute says."Governors in other states that observe Chavez's birthday have said they will not do so this year in light of the accusations. Places across the U.S. that honor labor rights icon César Chavezhttps://interactives.ap.org/embeds/1UG30/1/If you or someone you know is in a dangerous situation with a partner, there is a 24-hour statewide domestic and sexual violence hotline.
