New NY Times report chronicles Cesar Chavez sexually assaults and rapes of women during his time in the labor rights movement. No Kings should not be associated with the Cesar Chavez celebration.
This is a terrible location for the No Kings March! Isn’t being highly visible to the general public the whole point of this march? Who’s going to see us down at Las Colonias? People are driving by on the Riverside Parkway but it’s not a high volume area to be noticed. It’s not like marching through downtown as an example. Basically, it will be a march only seen by the marchers and giving speeches preaching to the choir.
I’ll be there!
