In recent weeks, Californians have been bombarded by troubling allegations against powerful men. Former East Bay Congressman Eric Swalwell is facing accusations of sexual assault and harassment, leading to his exit from the governor’s race and resignation from office. The state is also grappling with sexual misconduct allegations against labor icon Cesar Chavez. It all comes nine years after dozens of women in California’s capitol came together to speak out against what they called a pervasive culture of sexual harassment.  KQED politics correspondent Marisa Lagos has been following the fallout.
