The People Who Give You Their Food

Until The Chance For Political Participation Is There, We Who Are Poor Will Continue To Attack The Soft Part Of The American System - Its Economic Structure. We Will Build Power Through Boycotts, Strikes, New Union - Whatever Techniques We Can Develop. These Attacks On The Status Quo Will Come, Not Because We Hate, But Because We Know America Can Construct A Humane Society For All Its Citizens - And That If It Does Not, There Will Chaos.

Together, All Things Are Possible

Our Struggle Is Not Easy. Those Who Oppose Our Cause Are Rich And Powerful And They Have Many Allies In High Places. We Are Poor. Our Allies Are Few. But We Have Something The Rich Do Not Own. We Have Our Bodies And Spirits And The Justice Of Our Cause As Our Weapons.

If You Really Want To Make A Friend, Go To Someone's House And Eat With Him... The People Who Give You Their Food Give You Their Heart.

Farm Workers Everywhere Are Angry And Worried That We Cannot Win Without Violence. We Have Proved It Before Through Persistence, Hard Work, Faith And Willingness To Sacrifice. We Can Win And Keep Our Own Self-respect And Build A Great Union That Will Secure The Spirit Of All People If We Do It Through A Re-dedication And Re-commitment To The Struggle For Justice Through Non-violence.
