I think that the one thing that we've learned in our union is that you don't wait. You just get out and you start doing things. - Dolores Huerta

DOD table grape purchases are a national outrage. The history of our struggle against agribusiness is punctuated by the continued violations of health and safety codes by growers, including many table grape growers.

how can the Department of Defense explain or justify the intervention into the grape boycott, while we are supposedly fighting for freedom in Vietnam, and yet we are trying to destroy the farmworkers’ struggle for economic freedom m our own country.

the U.S. Department of Defense table grape purchases have been very detrimental to our effort.
