Los Hermanos Familia Statement on Day of Service and Name Change of Event
Los Hermanos Familia (LHF) was disappointed to learn of the allegations regarding Cesar Chavez. These claims are serious, and we believe that no individual, regardless of their legacy, is above accountability, especially when it comes to the safety and dignity of women and children.
Annually, LHF has partnered with local community groups, organizations, and educators to support advocacy for farm workers, particularly given the challenges faced across the South Plains.
To ensure our efforts remain clearly centered on serving families and strengthening our community, we have made the decision to rename our annual event to the CommUNITY Day of Service.
Our objective is to serve as a catalyst for promoting family engagement and increasing awareness of social issues, particularly those impacting families. We are committed to providing a positive environment for West Texas families and youth to learn and grow through nature, environmental stewardship, service, and leadership.
Our mission remains focused on strengthening families, building community, and supporting those who may be vulnerable.
Moving forward, we will update the name and marketing of our Day of Service to continue uniting individuals who are committed to creating positive change in our community.
We remain committed to fostering a community grounded in respect, accountability, and care for one another.
