Every single day we sit down to eat, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and at our table we have food that was planted, picked, or harvested by a farm worker. Why is it that the people who do the most sacred work in our nation are the most oppressed, the most exploited?

We can't let people drive wedges between us... because there's only one human race.

When you choose to give up your time and resources to participate in community work, that's what makes a leader.

Leadership is a choice one makes.

The great social justice changes in our country have happened when people came together, organized, and took direct action. It is this right that sustains and nurtures our democracy today. The civil rights movement, the labor movement, the women's movement, and the equality movement for our LGBT brothers and sisters are all manifestations of these rights.

We criticize and separate ourselves from the process. We've got to jump right in there with both feet.

We know we only have about half of our population that's voting.
