Cesar+Chavez

Cesar Chavez was an civil rights activist. He helped promote rights for farm workers in California. Farm workers were deprevide from rights like using the bathroom, having acess to clean water and protection from pesticides aside from this they were paid minimum wage. His plans were inspired by Gandhi and Martin Luther king. Casar Chavez orgainzed boycotts, stirkes and marches through out different states. So much was the determination to stop people from buying Delano grapes that they even marched all the way to the capital and even had people who weren't farm workers supporting them. The process was not easy, especially when the violence started because of the farm workers. Cesar Chavez was held responsible for their actions and was sent to court. he began to fast because he believed that by violence they were not going to gain anything. Many of the farm workers supporters traveled to different states and told the stories of the farmers. Cesar chavez gave speeches about the acts that were happening in the grape farms and by good fortune they were heard. People stopped buying grapes which costed them millions of dollars. Grapes were spoiling until one farm company agreed to the farm workers demands and sold their grapes with the Farm Workers Union insignia which sold millions and millions of more grapes. After this act all the other farm companies decided to do the same. They contacted Caesar Chavez and his Farm United Workers to confirm and meet Caesars demands. Just because of this movements we are able to have a sanitary conditions.
