Our society is connecting workers with the products people consume and recognizing workers for their contributions. It is important to do that, and to have organized labor - a middle class - to preserve our democracy.

We need to keep ringing the bell, wake people up to get our democracy together. Farm workers are like a symbol, and it is good that people are paying attention.

As we've focused more on our food and where it comes from, people now have greater awareness of what's being put onto our food, pesticides, labeling issues, and consumer health.

I'm glad that the fact that people are still getting poisoned by pesticide drift is gaining attention.

I am happy to see that, increasingly, people care about farm workers. There is tremendous interest in where and how our food is grown.

If you don't know, your labor unions and community organizations, there's somebody you can ask to guide you. A lot of people, especially in the Latino community, they have this big ballot and all these names and propositions on it, and they say 'Oh my God'. They don't know which of these to vote for, so they don't vote.

Going door to door and talking to people, convincing them to vote - this is what I call Organizing 101.

I hope people become inspired to become active in their community. That's the important thing.

When a group of people get together, it's collective power. You know that you're doing it for the good.
