Cesar Chavez, leader of the United Farm Workers had proven that nonviolence was the only way to address the unspeakable horrors and unprecedented challenges the farm workers had to endure at the farms and inside the communities. Chavez once said, “But in seeking social change, I am positive nonviolence is the way, morally and tactically, especially in our society where those in power resort to clubs, tear gas, and guns. I have seen nonviolence work many times in many ways. (5)." I will be discussing the noble idea of nonviolence activism which lead the UFW to big legislation of collective bargaining, health and benefit packages and the grant of amnesty by the United States of America.
