Despite much ground having been gained for people of color, workplace inequalities were still prevalent in America. One notable example of this was the treatment of Chicano workers at Coors factories. Trujillo was a part of the protests against Coors, which resulted in strikes that dealt significant financial damage to the company. Trujillo took part in numerous volunteer organizations, and while in Boulder, Colorado, was a part of the UMAS organization on campus that took action against discrimination and attempted to preserve chicano culture. After moving to Pueblo, Colorado, he became involved as a staff member at the local newspaper of "La Cucaracha", an organization similarly devoted to representing minorities and helping the community as a whole. Trujillo was massively impactful in the Colorado chicano movement, and his contributions can not be ignored.
