(The Center Square) – Women who work in fields and other outdoor spaces would get free menstrual products if a new bill introduced in the California Legislature passes this year. Assembly Bill 2082, introduced by Assemblymember Jeff Gonzalez, R-Indio, would require nonprofits that work with farmworker communities to provide free menstrual products to women who work on farms, fields and other agricultural businesses. “Women in those fields don’t always have access to the basic hygiene products they need,” Gonzalez said during a press conference Tuesday morning. “That is not just inconvenient; it’s unacceptable. No woman should have to choose between her health, her dignity and her paycheck.” Women who spoke at the news conference said female farmworkers often have to use materials not meant for menstrual hygiene to be able to keep working. “There were times when she had to use rags, paper or even pieces of her own clothing because she had no access to menstrual products,” Perla Sanchez, the daughter of a migrant worker, said of her mother’s experience. “She could not afford them. There were no stores nearby, and she was too ashamed to ask for help.” According to a study published by the American Journal of Community Psychology, female farmworkers have considerable challenges related to performing their work while on their menstrual period. Employers in these settings often have sign-in sheets for workers who use the bathroom, and the number of trips to the bathroom is limited for workers. Women who work in these jobs sometimes aren’t able to access restrooms during their work day, and they have to work through menstrual cramps, despite taking medications like Tylenol. Another 2024 study published in the Journal of Agromedicine found women who handle pesticides in their work can experience longer menstrual cycles, increased odds of missed periods and other reproductive health complications. The announcement of AB 2082 came on the heels of allegations of sexual abuse of women and girls that surfaced against United Farm Workers cofounder Cesar Chavez. Women who knew the prominent farm labor movement leader, who died in 1993, said he groomed women and girls who worked in the farm labor movement, according to a New York Times investigation published on March 18. Dolores Huerta, the most prominent woman in the labor movement, also said in that investigation and a statement that Chavez sexually assaulted her, which resulted in her having two children. Huerta cofounded UFW. The Assembly unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution on Monday that renames Cesar Chavez Day as Farmworkers Day. “The farmworker movement was never, ever about one man,” Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, D-Salinas, said on the Senate floor on Monday when the upper chamber considered the Assembly's resolution. “Their legacy is not defined by one individual. It is defined by a movement – a movement for dignity, a movement for justice, a movement that still lives on today.” While Gonzalez’s bill aims to aid women in the farm and agricultural settings, Gonzalez said the bill is the work of at least a year’s worth of meetings and conversations with women farmworkers, not a response to the allegations against Chavez. “They [female farmworkers] told me about some of the issues that were going on, and through our conversations, they said this is actually an issue that we’re having,” Gonzalez said Tuesday in response to a question from The Center Square. “This is an issue that’s happening today. This issue is about the dignity of women who are working so hard.”

(The Center Square) – An Illinois lawmaker and law enforcement officer is sharply criticizing the city of Elgin’s decision to fire an officer over social media posts, calling the move an “overreach” that could silence law enforcement voices. State Rep. John Cabello, R-Machesney Park, said the termination of Officer Jason Lentz raises serious constitutional concerns. “Police officers don’t give up their First Amendment rights when they put on the badge – or take it off,” Cabello said. “Firing someone over a social media post, without clear evidence of misconduct on duty, definitely feels like an overreach.” When asked about public employees being fired for social media posts surrounding the Charlie Kirk assassination, Cabello said the First Amendment protects everyone from government punishment for their speech, but public employees—especially in roles like law enforcement—are still held to a higher standard. He said that while political opinions are protected, comments that appear to celebrate or glorify violence can undermine public trust and justify consequences from an employer. He added that supporting free speech while expecting accountability from those in positions of public trust is not a contradiction. Elgin officials said Officer Jason Lentz was fired after an investigation found his 2025 social media posts about federal immigration enforcement violated policy. In a news release, Police Chief Ana Lalley called the termination “warranted and necessary.” Cabello disputed that conclusion, emphasizing that officers should be able to speak publicly about crime and safety. “We still have free speech,” Cabello told The Center Square. “Simply expressing support for law enforcement or pointing out areas where there may be criminal activity – especially immigration-related crime – that’s part of what officers deal with.” Cabello warned the firing could have wider consequences. “A hundred percent, it has a chilling effect,” he said. “When officers see someone fired over their own free speech, they’re going to think twice before speaking up.” He suggested the decision may influence how officers communicate about crime trends and public safety moving forward. Cabello also raised concerns about department leadership, pointing to reported internal tensions. “When your own department tells you there’s no confidence in you, that’s pretty bad,” he said, referencing a reported vote of no confidence in Chief Lalley. He went further, suggesting the firing may have been motivated by internal dynamics rather than policy alone. “I think it’s vindictive,” Cabello said. “It looks like trying to make sure nobody goes against her again.” In November 2022, the Elgin Police Benevolent & Protective Association Unit #54 overwhelmingly voted "no confidence" in Lalley, citing toxic working conditions, mismanagement, low morale and safety concerns. Lentz had applied for a disability pension in October 2025 following a prior on-duty injury, and the pension was approved in February 2026. Officials said the pension process is separate and unaffected by his termination. “I wholly support Chief Lalley’s decision to terminate Lentz as a police officer,” said City Manager Rick Kozal. A city news release notes that in 2014, Lentz faced disciplinary action for a social media activity related to the Ferguson, Missouri, police shooting. The city said the post violated department policy, but an arbitrator later reduced his firing to a six-month suspension. Cabello indicated the case may not be over. “I’m sure he’ll fight it,” he said, noting the officer had previously challenged disciplinary action successfully.

Los miembros del jurado dieron la razón a los fiscales de Nuevo México, quienes argumentaron que Meta —propietaria de Instagram, Facebook y WhatsApp— priorizó los beneficios económicos por encima de la seguridad de los menores Un jurado de Nuevo México ha dictaminado este martes que Meta perjudicó deliberadamente la salud mental de los niños y ocultó lo que sabía sobre la explotación sexual infantil en sus plataformas de redes sociales, facilitando así esas conductas delictivas. Esta decisión se produce tras un juicio de casi siete semanas, y mientras un jurado en un tribunal federal de California lleva más de una semana incomunicado deliberando sobre si Meta y YouTube deben ser considerados responsables en un caso similar. Los miembros del jurado dieron la razón a los fiscales de Nuevo México, quienes argumentaron que Meta —propietaria de Instagram, Facebook y WhatsApp— priorizó los beneficios económicos por encima de la seguridad. El jurado determinó que Meta violó varios apartados de la Ley de Prácticas Desleales del estado, basándose en las acusaciones de que la empresa ocultó lo que sabía sobre los peligros de la explotación sexual infantil en sus plataformas y el impacto de esta en la salud mental de los niños. El jurado coincidió con las alegaciones de que Meta realizó declaraciones falsas o engañosas, y también estuvo de acuerdo en que la empresa incurrió en prácticas comerciales “inadmisibles” que se aprovecharon injustamente de la vulnerabilidad y la inexperiencia de los niños. Los miembros del jurado concluyeron que se produjeron miles de infracciones, contabilizándose cada una por separado para conformar una sanción total de 375 millones de dólares.
