To be a man is to suffer for others. God help us to be men!
From Cesar Chavez
There is no law for farm labor organizing, save the law of the jungle.
Since the Church is to be servant to the poor, it is our fault if that wealth is not channeled to help the poor in our world.
When poor people get involved in a long conflict, such as a strike or a civil rights drive, and the pressure increases each day, there is a deep need for spiritual advice. Without it, we see families crumble, leadership weaken, and hard workers grow tired.
We farm workers are closest to food production. We were the first to recognize the serious health hazards of agriculture pesticides to both consumers and ourselves.
What we do know absolutely is that human lives are worth more than grapes and that innocent-looking grapes on the table may disguise poisonous residues hidden deep inside where washing cannot reach.
