At California Center for Movement Legal Services, we firmly denounce all acts of sexual assault, violence, and harassment—whether at the hands of a revered labor rights activist or an unscrupulous landlord. We offer our unequivocal support and solidarity to Dolores Huerta, Ana Murguía, and Debra Rojas, who have bravely shared their stories, and all survivors and victims.
We recognize the broader context and interconnectedness of systemic oppression, including patriarchy and white supremacy. These are hierarchical structures which shield abusers, victimize marginalized groups, and fundamentally damage everyone within the systems. Yet, no amount of historical contribution or progress can justify or excuse harmful acts committed by people within these systems of oppression. A movement for justice is only truly just when it is safe and equitable for all, which includes accountability for all.
