Dolores knew that many farm workers moved often from one place to another to help pick different kinds of fruits and vegetables, like grapes and tomatoes. She began talking and writing about these workers. Even people who lived far from California read what Dolores wrote. Getting higher pay for the farm workers was not easy.
