There is a movement in the California State Legislature to rename Cesar Chavez Day.

Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and Senate president pro Tempore Monique Limon have said they will introduce a bill to rename the holiday Farmworkers Day. The action is expected before the end of the month. It is alleged that Cesar Chavez sexually abused girls and the UFW co-founder Dolores Huerta. Huerta released a statement saying that she stayed silent for 60 years for fear that the revelations would hurt the farmworkers movement. Memorials honoring Chavez have already been cancelled. Ceasar Chavez Day was created by the California legislature in 1995 as a state holiday and in 2014 President Barrack Obama made March 31st, Chavez birthday, a U.S. federal commemorative holiday.
