In the old days, miners would carry birds with them to warn against poison gas. Hopefully, the birds would die before the miners. Farm workers are society's canaries. Farm workers-and their children-demonstrate the effects of pesticide poisoning before anyone else. - #CesarChavez 1/
People forget that the soil is our sustenance. It's a sacred trust. It is what has worked for us for centuries. It is what we pass on to future generations. - #CesarChavez #EarthDay

"History will judge societies, govts & insts: by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor & the helpless."

CS King: “César Chávez isn't an accident; he's a genius of his ppl, & their farm WKRs union -hero union. When you've succeeded in making your lives more secure & richer -whole nation will benefit. That's why your struggle has deeper dimensions than a strike for wages. You're demanding a place in the halls of man -no lowly ppl -only ppl who're forced down.”
#Unions
The United Farm Workers union #CesarChavez cofounded and led is on the fedi @ufwupdates.

"History will judge societies and governments - and the institutions - not by how big they are or how well they serve the rich and the powerful, but by how effectively they respond to the needs of the poor and the helpless." - #CesarChavez
Today in Labor History March 31, 1927: Birth of Cesar Chavez. In 1965, Chavez led farm workers in California on their first grape boycott. The nationwide protest lasted five years and ended with the first union contract for U.S. farm workers outside of Hawaii. In 1966, Chavez’s organization officially became the United Farm Workers. Chavez was inspired by the nonviolent civil disobedience of Gandhi. In addition to strikes, boycotts and pickets, he was famous for going on hunger strikes. Later he became infatuated with the religious cult, Synanon. He used Synanon’s “game” to punish union members and enforce conformity. Chavez also supported the brutal Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos. This alienated Filipino members of the union, as well as many of the religious organizations that had supported the UFW.

Day off to celebrate #CesarChavez - https://buff.ly/Sb0Egjw
Saw exhibit on #UnitedFarmWorkers strike & laughed at the short-handled #hoe. Thought it was a mistake, that they'd lost real tool & put child's toy in place. Eye-opening!

“...Is it so much to ask that the poorest people of the land have a measure of justice?” - #CesarChavez
"... ¿Es mucho pedir que las personas más pobres de la tierra tengan un poco de justicia?" - César Chavez
"Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore." -#CesarChavez #WeFeedYou
Today is Cesar Chavez Day. Take a moment to look up the good he did.
