Led boycotts and helped form the UFW?

• A. Cesar Chavez/ Delores Huerta
• B. Native Americans/American Indian Movement
• C. The Feminine Mystique
• D. G.I. Forum

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how nonviolent organizing can transform labor conditions for workers who are easy to overlook, like farm laborers. Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta led and organized farmworkers to demand better wages and conditions, most famously through the Delano grape strike and the nationwide grape boycott. Their persistent activism helped unite workers and sympathetic communities, and their efforts culminated in the formation of the United Farm Workers, uniting different groups of workers under one federation to bargain for rights. This approach—nonviolent strikes, boycotts, and coalition-building—proved powerful in drawing national attention to migrant labor issues and pushing for practical improvements. The other options refer to groups or works not tied to the farm workers' union movement: Native American activism, a landmark feminist book, and a veterans’ rights organization.
