Dolores Huerta is an American labor leader and a feminist activist. She worked for several years with the Community Service Organization. Later, she co-founded the National Farm Workers Association with fellow activists Cesar Chavez and Gilbert Padilla. Eventually, it merged with AWOC to become UFW.

a movement is more than 1 person: " Filipino farmworkers were also integral to the UFW’s successes. The UFW formed in 1966 when the NFWA united with the Agricultural Works Organizing Committee (AWOC), a Filipino farmworker union created in 1959 by Larry Itliong" open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Another Lesson from Dolores Huerta: The Patriarchy Has No Place in Social Justice
Movements for civil rights and social justice are not immune to the patriarchy and all its violence. But every day, we work to root it out.

the Delano grape strike was not started by Cesar Chavez. He was persuaded to join by Larry Itiong and AWOC. Then Cesar Chavez deified himself and turned the attention to the movement to a celebrity treatment opportunity. The real work was all lead by Huerta, Itlion, Vera Cruz, and the workers.

And it's even possible to be AWOC with kids in your life. If your child has severe mental health challenges or learning disabilities for eg, the traditional support isn't there. And even if they are fine and dandy, if they only come back from Australia once ever two years, you're effectively AWOC

In 1959, Itliong helped establish the multi-ethnic Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee. On Sept. 8, 1965, he led 1,500 Filipino workers of the AWOC to strike against grape growers in Delano, Calif. Eight days later, he convinced the National Farm Workers Association to join the strike. /4

In 1966, the AWOC and NFWA merged to become the United Farm Workers, with César Chávez as director and Itliong as assistant director. Itliong’s leadership and the united strike and boycott forced grape growers to negotiate, leading to the first farmworker union contracts in 1970. /5

AWOC had its first base among the aging Filipino farmworkers who had been laboring in the fields for several decades.

I might catch a block for this, but there were most definitely Mexican flags flown in the AWOC & NFWA march from Delano to the CA State Capitol in Sacramento, 4/10/1966.
There are Mexican flags in the very photo you shared.
Here are other pictures where the one in front is more visible.
I invite you to reflect on any biases you may have.

Meany didn’t like the bad publicity this caused and he tried to shut down AWOC in the aftermath, but it struggled along for a few more years. By 1965, Itliong was the head of AWOC. The biggest challenge they faced was Mexican farmworkers being willing to break Filipino farm workers strike.

But this changed in 1965 with the Delano strike, where Cesar Chavez first came to the attention of the nation. Chavez’s National Farm Workers Association joined AWOC on the picket lines. Soon, the two organizations merged into the United Farm Workers.
