FARMWORKERS BETRAYED:
Latinx feminists speak out on César Chávez abuses
Revelations of Chávez’s sexual grooming of farmworker children and rape of UFW leader Dolores Huerta have shaken those who viewed Chávez as a hero. Movement activists will present feminist, pro-union perspectives on how this behavior went unchecked for so long and what organizations can do to prevent such horrors in the future.
Speakers
Desirèe Rojas – Labor organizer, daughter of UFW cofounder Albert Rojas, officer of Labor Council for Latin American Advancement – Sacramento
Martha Cotera – A leader in the 1970s La Raza Unida Party, author of groundbreaking writings on Chicana feminism and achievements, Austin, TX
Yolanda Alaniz – Former farmworker, Radical Women member, co-author of Viva la Raza: A History of Chicano Identity and Resistance, Los Angeles, CA
Yuisa Alegria-Gimeno – Queer feminist; LA County worker and member of SEIU 721; veteran of LA homelessness organizing

In praise of heroes past and present
Now: Trans rights activists protest in the Idaho Capitol building.
This gathering will combine historical education with news of current organizing. Hear about the early German communist and feminist Clara Zetkin, initiator of International Women’s Day and a fighter for the United Front strategy to defeat fascism. Then move to the present day to get up to speed on widespread attacks on trans people and bold efforts to oppose them in several states. Find out how you can help build a forum featuring Latinx feminists on the César Chávez sexual abuse revelations and learn what Radical Women members are doing around the country. Bring your questions and ideas. Everyone welcome.

Black History Month meeting & video
The Montgomery Bus Boycott and the women who sparked it
Hear a first-hand account of the history-making 1955-56 Black transit riders’ strike in an unvarnished 30-minute interview with the amazing Jo Ann Robinson. Courageous and tenacious, Robinson was the head of the Women’s Political Council in Montgomery, Alabama. She and other Black women and students organized the community in a battle that shook segregation to its core. The 1985 interview was conducted for the award-winning documentary “Eyes on the Prize.” Open discussion will follow the film.
2023 activities and meetings were focused on the National Mobilization for Reproductive Justice – see 2023-2024 media coverage here
