It is work he has focused on since 1977 and let to is founding of Sin Fronteras Organizing Project in 1983.
More recently, Marentes founded the Border Agricultural Workers Project (BAWP), an effort to organize the farm workers of the US-Mexico border, especially the Chile pickers, in the fields and in their communities on both sides of the border. Under BAWP, Marentes initiated a campaign for food sovereignty to address the issues of oppression of farm workers and the climate crisis, as a way of promoting a new model of food production and food consumption.
