Cesar Chavez Page #4

and asked a very important question.

Whether we're prepared to set our

differences apart and join their strike.

But the most important thing to consider

is if news of this strike remains only in

Delano, then we will have been defeated.

Because they not only own the land,

but also the police and judges.

If we show the world

their abuse, greed, and brutality

then our voice will be heard

and responded to.

And when they see that our actions are just

they will understand

that our cause is just.

Then we will prevail.

Yes we can!

Strike! I

(ALL CHANTING)

The growers are going to be...

Larry, now that we are together,

the growers are gonna have to...

I'm not worried about them.

My people are angry.

This thing has been building for too long,

it's ready to explode.

Everyone is angry, we just have

to manage our own people.

I have people from Stockton to Coachella!

I didn't say it was going to be easy,

but if you take care of your side,

I take care of mine, we'll be fine.

- There are things we can't control.

- No, there are things we have to control.

So who the hell is this Cesar Chavez?

Nobody knows.

Somebody said he was from Arizona.

Word is he used to hang around Alinsky

and the other commies from the CSO.

He's been up and down the valley,

stirring up trouble.

I heard he's Mexican.

Seems a safe bet.

They've come out with this newspaper.

Got this beaner character in there

named Don Sotaco.

There he is.

He's kinda funny. (CHUCKLES)

Well, it's a cartoon,

but I'm not sure it's funny.

Who cares, most of our workers

are illiterate.

Yeah, but you can understand a cartoon

without being able to read.

So, this Don Sotaco,

(INHALES DEEPLY)

he, uh, informs the workers

about their rights.

- And this is what, a weekly?

- Mmm-hmm.

Thank God it isn't a daily.

Although, 52 weeks a year,

that is a lot of rights, Sheriff.

Long live the strike!

Long live the farmworker!

Long live our cause!

Long live our farmworker movement!

Did they confirm?

- Of course.

- Anyone...

Mostly local, but some are actually

coming down from San Francisco, Arizona...

- Where are they?

- I don't know. They should be here by now.

(GATE UNLOCKS)

Get the hell off our property!

Go back to Mexico!

Stay calm, don't react.

FOREMAN 1:
We don't need you. Wetbacks.

- FOREMAN 2:
Get out of here!

- Don't react, just keep moving.

We don't need you.

We want you out of our country.

We want you back to Mexico.

Get the hell out of our country!

What do you think you are looking at, huh?

Damn spics! We don't need you! Get out!

Keep marching. Keep marching, please.

- Get these sons of b*tches off my land.

- Yes, sir.

We aren't going anywhere,
