  "textContent": "In the wake of newly reported sexual abuse allegations against labor leader Cesar Chavez, our hearts are with our long-time _Ms._ advisor, Feminist Majority Foundation (publisher of _Ms._) board member, friend, and feminist and labor icon Dolores Huerta. The fact that she felt she had to bear this in silence speaks to the layers of harm that women who suffer sexual assault must bear.\n\nIn the wake of going public for the first time, Huerta writes, \"I have never identified myself as a victim, but I now understand that I am a survivor—of violence, of sexual abuse, of domineering men who saw me, and other women, as property, or things to control.\"\n\n\"The knowledge that he hurt young girls sickens me. My heart aches for everyone who suffered alone and in silence for years. There are no words strong enough to condemn those deplorable actions that he did. Cesar’s actions do not reflect the values of our community and our movement.\"\n\nThe post In Her Own Words: Dolores Huerta on Surviving Abuse, Speaking Out at 96 and Honoring the Movement Beyond One Man appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
