“These reports describe conduct that is profoundly disturbing, indefensible, and that has caused real pain,” the statement said. “We acknowledge that pain and stand with the Huerta, Rosas, and Murguia families and all survivors.” The foundation said it has been sustained for more than 30 years by community support, growing beyond preserving Chavez’s legacy.“After careful deliberation, our Board of Directors has made the decision to dissolve” the foundation, the statement said, adding the decision reflects an obligation to uphold its values and avoid contributing to further harm. The group thanked its volunteers, partners and supporters, ending the statement by saying “the spirit of La Causa — service, unity, and care for one another — belongs to the community and will endure.”Ernie ZunigaChristian Riley joined KSAT 12 in June 2025.
