Together, all things are possible

When workers fall back on violence, they are lost. Oh, they might win some of their demands and might end a strike a little earlier, but they give up their imagination, their creativity, their will to work hard and to suffer for what they believe is right.
Cesar Chavez

If you're not frightened that you might fail, you'll never do the job. If you're frightened, you'll work like crazy.
Cesar Chavez

You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read.
Cesar Chavez
Image
It's ironic that those who till the soil, cultivate and harvest the fruits, vegetables, and other foods that fill your tables with abundance have nothing left for themselves.
Cesar Chavez
Image
...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.
Cesar Chavez

The non-violent technique does not depend for its success on the goodwill of the oppressor, but rather on the unfailing assistance of God.
Cesar Chavez
Image
It takes a lot of punishment to be able to do anything to change the social order.
Cesar Chavez

You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.
