The Farmworkers' Movement

The Farmworkers' Movement began in the 1960s and aimed to improve working conditions for agricultural laborers, especially those who were often underpaid and faced unsafe environments. Led by figures like Cesar Chavez, this movement organized strikes and boycotts to demand fair wages and better treatment for farmworkers.

Through collective action, they raised awareness about the struggles of these essential workers, leading to significant changes in labor laws and public recognition of their rights.
