The Only Ones Who Make Things Change

We Are Convinced That Non-violence Is More Powerful Than Violence. We Are Convinced That Non-violence Supports You If You Have A Just And Moral Cause...if You Use Violence, You Have To Sell Part Of Yourself For That Violence. Then You Are No Longer A Master Of Your Own Struggle.

It's Ironic That Those Who Till The Soil, Cultivate And Harvest The Fruits, Vegetables, And Other Foods That Fill Your Tables With Abundance Have Nothing Left For Themselves.

Once Social Change Begins, It Cannot Be Reversed. You Cannot Un-educate The Person Who Has Learned To Read. You Cannot Humiliate The Person Who Feels Pride. You Cannot Oppress The People Who Are Not Afraid Anymore. Cesar Chavez Address To The Commonwealth Club In San Francisco, Nov. 9, 1984

Society Is Made Up Of Groups, And As Long As The Smaller Groups Do Not Have The Same Rights And The Same Protection As Others - I Don['t Care Whether You Call It Capitalism Or Communism -it Is Not Going To Work. Somehow, The Guys In Power Have To Be Reached By Counterpower, Or Through A Change In Their Hearts And Minds, Or Change Will Not Come.

You Cannot Oppress The People Who Are Not Afraid Anymore.
