Este cartel promueve el 10 de mayo de 1969 como el “Día Internacional del Boicot”, dirigido contra las tiendas Safeway, una importante cadena de supermercados de la Costa Oeste. Créditos: California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Special Collections and Archives.

Durante la huelga de la uva de Delano, los líderes del movimiento reconocieron que la victoria dependía de la participación de un gran número de personas fuera de Delano. Decidieron que un boicot de los consumidores sería clave.¹ En 1967, el movimiento convocó a un boicot nacional contra Giumarra Vineyards, el mayor cultivador de uva de mesa de California, exigiendo un contrato sindical. Sin embargo, los cultivadores intentaron socavar el boicot cooperando entre sí y vendiendo las uvas de Giumarra bajo diferentes etiquetas. En respuesta, los trabajadores agrícolas convocaron a un boicot de todas las uvas de mesa de California.

1Un boicot se produce cuando las personas se niegan a comprar un producto hasta que se cumplan determinadas exigencias.
