圣何塞市议会一致通过广场更名：塞萨尔·查韦斯广场改为圣何塞广场
美国加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉县圣何塞市市议会10月27日一致表决通过，将市中心以劳工领袖塞萨尔·查韦斯命名的广场（Plaza de César Chávez）更名为「圣何塞广场」（Plaza de San José）。这座广场是全市最古老的公共空间之一，现名自1993年沿用至今。
更名议案列于市议会10月27日议程第7.1项，文件号26-1117，由市公园与社区服务部门提出，并豁免了市议会第7-5号政策中有关以个人命名公共设施的评选标准。市政府此前通过公开征集与排序投票征求新名，共有超过10500人参与，其中4116人把「圣何塞广场」列为首选；其他进入前列的候选名称包括「农场工人广场」（Farmworkers Plaza）与「人民广场」（Plaza del Pueblo）。
市长马特·马汉（Matt Mahan）表示：「200多年来，这座广场一直是本市的中心。」广场所在的第3区市议员安东尼·托迪约斯（Anthony Tordillos）表示，市议会没有把名字强加给市民，而是让社区自己作出选择。
这座广场所在地在1849年至1851年间曾是加利福尼亚州首府所在地，1993年为纪念查韦斯而更名。今年3月，《纽约时报》发表调查报道，披露针对查韦斯的性行为不端指控，圣何塞随后启动更名程序，广场上原有的查韦斯名字样先期被覆盖处理。
San Jose Council Votes Unanimously to Rename Plaza de César Chávez as Plaza de San José
In San Jose, Santa Clara County, California, the City Council voted unanimously on October 27 to rename the downtown plaza named for labor leader César Chávez (Plaza de César Chávez) as Plaza de San José. The plaza is among the city's oldest public spaces, and its current name had been in use since 1993.
The renaming appeared as item 7.1 on the Council's October 27 agenda (file 26-1117), brought forward by the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department, with a waiver of the sponsorship and contribution renaming criteria in Council Policy 7-5. The city collected name suggestions and ran a ranked-choice vote: more than 10,500 people took part, and 4,116 ranked Plaza de San José first. Other top contenders included Farmworkers Plaza and Plaza del Pueblo.
'For over 200 years this plaza has been central to our city,' Mayor Matt Mahan said. Councilmember Anthony Tordillos, whose District 3 includes the plaza, said the Council did not dictate the name and instead let the community choose.
The plaza site served as California's state capital from 1849 to 1851 and was renamed for Chávez in 1993. The renaming process began after a New York Times investigation published in March 2026 detailed sexual misconduct allegations against Chávez; the Chávez name on the plaza had earlier been covered over in concrete.
