But a couple of years later, when I was invited to join one of the groups again, I went. I realized that that it's not wrong to show workers the dangers in their jobs. The companies and the newspapers say we're putting the maquiladoras in danger, but we're just showing workers what's wrong with the way the work is organized. When I understood that, I decided to become a voluntary organizer. Everything I learn I try to pass on, so that it will help everyone else.
Movements start with small groups, but they evolve and get bigger and bigger.
Many people say you're just wasting your time because you'll never be able to change anything. But I say no. Nothing will ever change if we just sit on our hands. You have to keep trying. And the little that we're able to achieve will grow, step by step.
