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

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.

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.

Why is it that farmworkers feed the nation but they can't get food stamps?

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

I call myself an addicted organizer.

Every minute a chance to change the world.
