5:40Now PlayingWe are getting the latest updates as the state of Arizona says it will not recognize Cesar Chavez Day this year, a day usually celebrated on March 31. This comes after abuse allegations surfaced against the late civil rights icon. According to the Cesar Chavez Foundation, they only recently became aware of allegations that the Yuma native engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior with women and minors while president of the United Farm Workers Union (UFW). LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall is speaking with Brian Webb from FOX 10 Phoenix as Arizona’s Governor Katie Hobbs reacts to the new reporting.
The Office of Governor Katie Hobbs released a statement this week. It read in part, "The Governor’s Office is deeply concerned by the troubling allegations against César Chávez. As a social worker who worked with homeless youth and victims of domestic violence, Governor Hobbs takes allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior against women and minors very seriously. The Governor’s Office has decided to not recognize César Chávez Day this year. Our thoughts are with the victims and all those affected."
