MARCH TO SACRAMENTO - COLOR
|
|
|
|
"We are sons of the Mexican Revolution, a revolution of the poor seeking bread and justice."
|
|
"Because we have suffered in order to survive, we are ready to give up everything, even our lives, in our fight for social justice."
|
|
"Seeking social justice in farm labor with reforms we believe necessary for their well-being as workers."
|
|
"We are tired of words, of betrayals, of indifference."
|
|
"We do not want the paternalism of the rancher; we do not want charity at the price of our dignity."
|
|
"The time has come for the liberation of the poor farmworker."
|
|
"History is on our side. May the strike go on! Viva La Causa! Viva La Huelga!"
|
|
"We have suffered unnumbered ills and crimes in the name of the 'Law of the Land'."
|
|
"We say in the words of Pope Leo, 'It is neither just nor human to oppress men with excessive work to the point where their minds become enfeebled and their bodies worn out'."
|
|
"From this movement shall spring leaders who shall understand us, lead us, be faithful to us."
|
|
"Irresponsible legislators saw the obvious effects of an unjust system, starvation wages, contractors, day hauls, forced migration, sickness, illiteracy, camps and sub-human living conditions, and acted as if they were irremediable."
|
|
"Our wages and working conditions have been determined from above, because irresponsible legislators who could have helped us, have supported the rancher's argument that the plight of the farmworker was a 'special case'."
