When farm workers initiated the Delano grape strike in 1965, to protest for higher wages, Chavez supported them. Six months later Chavez led a strike of California grape pickers. The United Farm Workers encouraged all Americans to boycott table grapes as a show of support. The strike lasted five years.

Cesar Chavez's strike began in 1965 when the United Farm Workers (UFW) launched a labor strike against grape growers in California. The strike was initiated in response to poor working conditions, low wages, and lack of labor rights for farmworkers. Chavez aimed to raise awareness about the plight of these workers and sought to organize them to demand better treatment and fair pay. This pivotal event marked the beginning of a significant movement for labor rights in the agricultural sector.

Cesar Chavez led the United Farm Workers in a strike, boycott, and secondary boycott against grape growers. This was known as the Delano Grape Strike.
Cesar Chavez's most notable hunger strike lasted for 36 days, from March 10 to April 17, 1988. This strike was part of his efforts to advocate for farmworkers' rights and to draw attention to the issues they faced. Chavez's fasting was a powerful statement that underscored his commitment to nonviolent protest and social justice.
