For the farm workers, a big thing for them is just getting their story out….they want to tell their stories, they want them shared.

This is the story of the founding of the National Farm Worker Ministry, a continuation of a foundation of work begun many years before, as told by those who were there from the beginning.
The Founding -
We learned that the workers are the ones that show the way. The workers are the ones that open the way to follow. We have learned through the years to listen to them, to respect them for that, and to move into the different campaigns and plans they have.

In 53 years of organizing, the cornerstone of having a moral base has been more important or as important as anything else to allow the farm worker movement to survive to this day. -Baldemar Velasquez
