What I Do Shows People What Kind

If You Are Interested In Preventing Animal Suffering, The First Thing You Should Give Up Is Eggs And Milk, Because The Animals Who Produce Those Foods Lead The Most Unhappy Lives. You Would Do Better To Eat Meat And Stop Eating Eggs And Dairy Products.

A Movement With Some Lasting Organization Is A Lot Less Dramatic Than A Movement With A Lot Of Demonstrations And A Lot Of Marching And So Forth. The More Dramatic Organization Does Catch Attention Quicker. Over The Long Haul, However, It's A Lot More Difficult To Keep Together Because You're Not Building Solid...a Lasting Organization Is One In Which People Will Continue To Build, Develop And Move When You Are Not There.

You Cannot Oppress The People Who Are Not Afraid Anymore.

I Remember With Strong Feelings The Families Who Joined Our Movement And Paid Dues Long Before There Was Any Hope Of Winning Contracts. Sometimes, Fathers And Mothers Would Take Money Out Of Their Meager Food Budgets Just Because They Believed That Farm Workers Could And Must Build Their Own Union. I Remember Thinking Then That With Spirit Like That... We Had To Win. No Force On Earth Could Stop Us.

There Are Vivid Memories From My Childhood-what We Had To Go Through Because Of Low Wages And The Conditions, Basically Because There Was No Union. I Suppose If I Wanted To Be Fair I Could Say That I'm Trying To Settle A Personal Score. I Could Dramatize It By Saying That I Want To Bring Social Justice To Farm Workers. But The Truth Is That I Went Through A Lot Of Hell, And A Lot Of People Did. If We Can Even The Score A Little For The Workers Then We Are Doing Something. Besides, I Don't Know Any Other Work I Like To Do Better Than This. I Really Don't.
