Cesar Chaves (2014) part 3


Affiliations to what?
Let's say the communist party.
- Communists?|- Yes.
Do you mind tellin' me what's so funny?
It's that we are Catholic.
How can Catholics be communists?
I've seen stranger things.
Mr. Chavez, do you mind|if we take a look around?
Do you have a warrant?
Not on me.
So you're asking me for a favor?
I think you'd be doing yourself a favor.
Come on. There's nothing to see here.
Come in.
We have nothing to hide.
So what they doin' here?
You givin' away free pinatas or something?
It's a credit union.
No sshit.
Where's the money coming from?
Donations.
Here's a box if you're interested.
I don't know exactly what you're up to here
but the citizens of Delano,
they don't care much for subversives.
They respect the law.
So do we.
Especially the Bill of Rights.
Ever read the Bill of Rights?
Let's go.
Listen up, all of you in there.
You have 10 minutes|to vacate the premises.
You are now trespassing and will be|prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
We are not moving!
Is that you, Larry?
Yeah. Yeah, it's me.
Larry, you get your people out of there now|and get back to work.
I'll forget everything.|No blacklisting, no nothing.
Sorry, that's not good enough.
You cut our wages too goddam much.
We starve on what you pay us anyhow.
Go.
Nobody leave!
Stay together, stay strong!
The growers cut their pay in half.
Now they have barricaded themselves|in the camps.
This thing is blowing up.
- The Filipinos?|- Yeah.
And now the growers are recruiting|our people to break the strikes.
That's why Larry specifically asked|for you, Cesar.
He knows he can't win without us.
Oh, and by the way,
who gives a sshit about the Filipinos?
No mames.|They undercut us left and right.
Do you think they would strike for us?
They play the races against each other,|that is their tactic.
Are we a union or not?
Our brother Cesar Chavez|will speak to us now.
Brothers and sisters.
Today our fellow Filipino workers|have taken a vital step
towards the fight for freedom and dignity
that poverty has denied us.
And they have come to us|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
