((apex)) Cesar Chavez kelsmo m.k. :) <3
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.
The United Farm Workers (UFW), led by Cesar Chavez, organized a boycott of grapes in the 1960s. The campaign aimed to improve working conditions and wages for farmworkers, particularly those picking grapes in California. This boycott garnered widespread support and became a significant part of the labor movement, highlighting issues of labor rights and social justice.
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.
