Calls for: "Stand up in support of the only non-violent leader this country has left!" Background information: Between December 10-24, 1970, Cesar Chavez was jailed in Salinas, California for refusing to obey a court order to stop the boycott against Bud Antle lettuce. ( From Cesar E. Chavez Foundation.org http://www.cesarechavezfoundation.org/Default.aspx?pi=33 ) Background information: Background information: "In 1962 Cesar [Chavez] founded the National Farm Workers Association, later to become the United Farm Workers (UFW). He was joined by Dolores Huerta and the union was born ... By 1970 the UFW got grape growers to accept union contracts and had effectively organized most of that industry, at one point in time claiming 50,000 dues paying members."
