Fascinating, original reporting from @sherlyholmes on the L.A. Mayor's race. This is worth the read. Aligns with everything I heard behind the scenes thagt week. This is Julia Wick's first piece for her new L.A. journalism venture. Congrats on the launch!

SOME PERSONAL NEWS: For the last year I’ve been working with a terrifyingly talented team to put together L.A. Material, a new local news outlet covering Los Angeles. We’re launching TODAY, so please check us out at lamaterial.com.

Hours after the release of NYT report: San Francisco is moving to change the name of Cesar Chavez Street. Arizona is canceling state observances of Cesar Chavez Day. The United Farm Workers of America, which Chavez co-founded, called off its Chavez birthday celebration.

NYT investigation: Two women say that famed labor leader Cesar Chavez sexually abused them when they were girls. Dolores Huerta, one of his most prominent allies, says she was also raped by Chavez. They are all coming forward for the first time. nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/…

it took breathtaking bravery for these women -- who were far too young to carry this for so long -- to tell these stories, despite it all. Plus -- a devastatingly thorough investigation that honors their bravery. nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/…
