Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council,
The Youth Commission expresses its support for the removal of memorials in honor of Cesar Chavez following the public disclosure of sexual assault and rape allegations made against him. Pursuant to the above, we recommend that every memorial in San José honoring Cesar Chavez be renamed in honor of Dolores Huerta and/or Chicano farm workers. We support the process outlined in the memorandum “Initiating Inventory and Community Process Regarding Public Assets Named for César Chavez” as approved by the Rules and Open Government Committee on March 23, 2026, and look forward to the Council vote for final approval in the coming months.
BACKGROUND
Cesar Chavez was a pioneering civil rights activist and labor organizer in the Chicano community. However, following allegations of sexual assault and rape released in March 2026 by Chavez’s co-organizer, Dolores Huerta, the City began to remove public memorials of Chavez’s legacy from city-owned sites.
REASONING
The heroism of Dolores Huerta cannot be overstated. Doña Huerta endured decades of willing silence for the sake of the success of the broader farmworkers’ movement, suffering alone while watching her alleged abuser flourish and take much of the spotlight over her leadership and the collective’s action. She played a key role in the building of the farmworkers’ movement and securing a more equitable future for Chicanos and Latinos within the United States, all while being the victim of misogyny, racism, and hatred, including from those who were supposed to be her closest allies.
The magnitude of the pain that she endured only serves to amplify the greatness of the change she has brought to the world. While silently bearing the unbearable, Doña Huerta became the face of a generation of changemakers and activists. She lent her strength to countless women searching for inspiration. And, years after the death of her abuser, she dared to speak out and to reveal the truth to the world, so that justice could be had. Through it all, she never faltered in her dedication to a more equitable world, and even today, in her 90s, she has continued to fight for the rights of laborers in the United States.

The farmworkers’ movement, most prominently led by the United Farm Workers (UFW), highlighted deplorable instances of discrimination and oppression against agricultural workers and continued to lead the fight against wage theft, exploitation, and for workers' dignity.
In light of the scope and scale of Huerta’s and the farmworkers’ achievements, the tenacity of their spirit, and the exigence of the present moment, it is only natural that they be honored by the City of San José.

Bottom line, San Jose would not be doing the safe thing for the eighteen families on Akron Way by allowing 311 to ignore Akron Way. The motor home that has been parked and cited months ago has vacated Akron monthly to avoid the street sweeping ticket. 311 has not done their safety duty by letting the motor home park on a emergency lane since February! 311 wants to make it harder to respond to emergencies on Akron to save how much money? How dangerous will Akron be to save 311 money?
Regards, James Gray, San Jose

NOTICE OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY’S RATE CHANGE REQUEST FOR ITS 2027 ENERGY RESOURCE RECOVERY ACCOUNT (ERRA) FORECAST
APPLICATION TO THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION (CPUC) A.26-05-007
What is Being Requested?
PG&E is requesting $3,176 million in revenue for 2027 to recover costs related to fuel needed to produce electricity as well as buying energy from third parties to serve bundled customers’ loads that are included in ERRA. The application also includes costs associated with renewable resources to further the state’s energy policy goals such as the California Climate Credit and Emission-Intensive and Trade-Exposed (EITE) credit.
CPUC Rulemaking 25-02-005 is considering the appropriate valuation of renewable energy credits (REC) generated prior to January 1, 2019, and a decision may impact PG&E’s updated rate proposal.
Further, market prices may be higher or lower than at the time the application was filed. These factors may result in PG&E updating its rate proposal later in the year and higher or lower rates and billimpacts than those initially presented.
How Would This Impact the Typical Residential Customer? If the request is approved, a typical bundled residential customer using 500kWh per month would see a rate increase of approximately $10.55 per month. The actual impact will vary based on usage, baseline territory, and the applicable Base Service Charge, if eligible.
PG&E provides Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers with transmission, distribution, and Commission-ordered services. On average, rates for PG&E-provided services decrease by 7.3% in the initial application and are subject to change. Final rate impacts may be higher or lower. DA providers and CCAs set their own generation rates. Check with your DA provider or CCA to learn how this may affect your bill.
Additional Info
An administrative law judge may hold hearings and will consider evidence, testimony, and public comments before drafting a proposed decision. CPUC Commissioners will then vote on a final decision at a public meeting.
