🚨Arizona Republicans Move to Repeal Cesar Chavez Day from State Law Following Reports of Predatory Sexual Crimes Against Women, Children “We are not going to keep honoring a man who committed sexual abuse against children and assaulted women. That should not be controversial. If even the Governor is stepping back from recognizing Cesar Chavez this year, then the Legislature needs to finish the job. Looking the other way is not leadership.” -@AZHouseGOP Speaker @SteveMontenegro “This is about what our laws say and what they stand for. As long as this remains in statute, Arizona is still honoring that conduct. Repealing it is the right and responsible step, and it sends a clear message that we stand with victims.” -Rep. @LisaFinkAZ “The conduct described is heinous, and it demands a clear and immediate response. Protecting children and holding predators accountable is a fundamental responsibility of government. Arizona law should never be used to honor someone tied to that kind of harm. This should receive unanimous, bipartisan support. Anything less would be a failure to stand with victims and uphold the basic duty to protect the vulnerable. There is no greater crime than one committed against a child.” -@AZSenateGOP President @VoteWarren “As someone who has worked to strengthen protections for victims and vulnerable populations, I take this seriously. We have to be consistent. We cannot say we stand with victims and then maintain laws that send a conflicting message. This is about ensuring Arizona law reflects a clear commitment to protecting victims and upholding accountability.” -Sen. @ShawnnaLMBolick READ MORE👇 azleg.gov/press/house/57… #AZHouseGOP #AZSenateGOP #AZLeg
