--Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, union activist and Wobbly organizer

The people united will never be defeated.

--Caesar Chavez, American labor leader

The strongest bond of human sympathy outside the family relation should be one uniting working people of all nations and tongues and kindreds.

--Abraham Lincoln, United States President
