“My children grew up very resourceful and strong in spite of them having to live with different families and that I had to drag them all over the country with me.”

We have to get back down to basics. We have to start organizing at the neighborhood level to get people educated to vote.

Sometimes, we have to promote ourselves. Just go out and be very active about trying to find an opportunity.

We need to keep ringing the bell, wake people up to get our democracy together. Farm workers are like a symbol, and it is good that people are paying attention.

We as women should shine light on our accomplishments and not feel egotistical when we do. It’s a way to let the world know that we as women can accomplish great things!

If we can just convince other people to get involved, this could make some major changes in our society. It’s very exhilarating.

Our society is connecting workers with the products people consume and recognizing workers for their contributions. It is important to do that, and to have organized labor – a middle class – to preserve our democracy.

I hope people become inspired to become active in their community. That’s the important thing.

That’s the history of the world. His story is told, hers isn’t.

I am happy to see that, increasingly, people care about farm workers. There is tremendous interest in where and how our food is grown.

Employers able to work together with workers and sharing gains and profits will lead to a much better world, getting away from income inequality.

Once you see the outcomes and the results, and you see how many people are helped and benefitting, you want to keep on doing it because it’s so simple.

I’m glad that the fact that people are still getting poisoned by pesticide drift is gaining attention.

Once I learned about grassroots organizing, I got so enamored with it because I thought ‘Wow this is the way you do it!’

We must use our lives to make the world a better place to live, not just to acquire things. That is what we are put on the earth for.

Why is it that farmworkers feed the nation but they can’t get food stamps?

I call myself an addicted organizer.

What is the greatest mistake a parent can make?’ she asked. ‘To believe that your children will be just like you.

Faith can be very very dangerous, and deliberately to implant it into the vulnerable mind of an innocent child is a grievous wrong.

Ever since I was a child, I would start crying seeing anyone in pain.

Let’s celebrate every child’s right to play, as it has the power to change lives‬.

You ought not to practice childish ways, since you are no longer that age.

You can’t become a billionaire stepping over children sleeping on the street.

Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.

Sometimes people rehabilitate and reform their lives into being a great person when they make awful choices as children.
