My name became known because I was one might say accidentally the target of state repression and because so many people throughout the country and other parts of the world organized around the demand for my freedom.

Freedom means the right of people to assemble organize and debate openly.

I was an organizer in the Food Agricultural and Tobacco Workers Union down in North Carolina.

Cleaning is my favorite way to relax. I clear things out and get rid of the stuff I don't need. When the food pantry and the refrigerator are organized I feel less stressed.

I don't really go down one path. I wouldn't call myself a Buddhist or a Catholic or a Christian or a Muslim or Jewish. I couldn't put myself into any organized faith.

In properly organized groups no faith is required what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him.

Have you ever watched someone become American? Last week at a national citizenship conference I organize thirty immigrants from 17 countries swore an oath and became citizens of the United States. It was a stirring experience for the hundreds of people in the room.

When I was 27 years old I organized legal aid clinics to help low-income seniors. It was a life-altering experience.

I want to organize so that women see ourselves as people who are entitled to power entitled to leadership.

Environmental degradation overpopulation refugees narcotics terrorism world crime movements and organized crime are worldwide problems that don't stop at a nation's borders.
