The full text of the
statement reads as follows:
"W h ile some citizens
worry about apathy in the
land and others w rite about
the sail state of American
democracy, farm workers
do their everyday work:
they harvest the food we
eat and they wort. and
sacrifice to build a union of
their own. The issues of
their struggle are made to
seem Confusing but the
human goals they seek are
the same goals they that
gave birth to our nation:
farm workers are fighting
for self determination, con
trol of their own lives, the
right to participate in their
own liberation, new possi
bilities and new hope for
their children.
They are
fighting with the tools of
non violence!
"May 4th through 10th.
1975 will be Farm W orker
Week in the USA and
Canada. We have no grand
pronouncem ents for our
friends and constituents
We ask them to look to
O sar
Chavez
and
the
United Farm Workers as
im p o rta n t,
eth ical
and
spiritual leaders in our
time. We give thanks for
the farm workers's courage,
persistence, and willingness
to sacrifice for
justice.
While others lead with their
voices, the farm workers
lead with their lives. They
have asked us to give a
part of ourselves to the'*
non violent movement. We
do so gladly and with
humility. We will not buy
or eat non U FW grapes or
head lettuce and we will not
drink any Gallo wines until
farm workers have had a
chance to rhoose their own
union.
We plege to keep
our spirits alive to the farm
workers's struggle and to
spread the work of the
boycott wherever we go
We will not forget 'the cry
for bread and justice that
comes from those hungry
workers in America who by
their labor and sacrifices
feed all of us and our
children.' ”
