There Is No Such Thing

Non-violence Is A Very Powerful Weapon. Most People Don't Understand The Power Of Non-violence And Tend To Be Amazed By The Whole Idea. Those Who Have Been Involved In Bringing About Change And See The Difference Between Violence And Non-violence Are Firmly Committed To A Lifetime Of Non-violence, Not Because It Is Easy Or Because It Is Cowardly, But Because It Is An Effective And Very Powerful Way.

We Can Choose To Use Our Lives For Others To Bring About A Better And More Just World For Our Children. People Who Make That Choice Will Know Hardship And Sacrifice. But If You Give Yourself Totally To The Non-violence Struggle For Peace And Justice You Also Find That People Give You Their Hearts And You Will Never Go Hungry And Never Be Alone. And In Giving Of Yourself You Will Discover A Whole New Life Full Of Meaning And Love.

This Is The Beginning Of A Social Movement In Fact And Not In Pronouncements. We Seek Our Basic, God - Given Rights As Human Beings...we Shall Do It Without Violence Because It Is Our Destiny. To The Growers And To All Who Oppose Us, We Say The Words Of Benito Juarez: `respect For Another's Right Is The Meaning Of Peace.'

...the Workers Aren't Going To Stop Struggling. They're Going To Struggle To Have A Union And They Have The Right To Have It. The Police Repression And The Grower Indifference To The Workers' Demands For Recognition Cannot Go Unheard So We're Going To Keep On Struggling Until We Get That Recognition.

We Shall Strike. We Shall Organize Boycotts. We Shall Demonstrate And Have Political Campaigns. We Shall Pursue The Revolution We Have Proposed. We Are Sons And Daughters Of The Farm Workers' Revolution, A Revolution Of The Poor Seeking Bread And Justice.
