From the start, organizers of the grape boycott aimed at using non-violence to gain the patronage of consumers. In the Proclamation of the Grape Worker, Dolores Huerta states, “We mean to have our peace, and to win it without violence, for it is violence we would overcome-the subtle spiritual and mental violence of oppression, the violence subhuman toil does to the human body”(Huerta).

Arriola describes the treatment of girls and women on the U.S. Mexican border who are employees of the maquiladora, which are a creation of corporations that move over to the U.S. Mexican borders because of the low salaries they pay to their employees due to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Mexico, the United States, and Canada (1993).
