There Is No Such Thing

The First Principle Of Non-violent Action Is That Of Non-cooperation With Everything Humiliating.

There Is No Such Thing As Defeat In Non-violence.

If We Are Full Of Hatred, We Can't Really Do Our Work. Hatred Saps All That Strength And Energy We Need To Plan.

There Are Vivid Memories From My Childhood-what We Had To Go Through Because Of Low Wages And The Conditions, Basically Because There Was No Union. I Suppose If I Wanted To Be Fair I Could Say That I'm Trying To Settle A Personal Score. I Could Dramatize It By Saying That I Want To Bring Social Justice To Farm Workers. But The Truth Is That I Went Through A Lot Of Hell, And A Lot Of People Did. If We Can Even The Score A Little For The Workers Then We Are Doing Something. Besides, I Don't Know Any Other Work I Like To Do Better Than This. I Really Don't.

We Are Organizers At Heart. Most Of Us In The Movement Take Great Pride In Being Able To Put Things Together.
