When We Stand Up For Farmworkers

Immokalee farmworkers lead the way in the Fair Food Fight. Be conscious of how your food gets to you, folks.

When I sit down to eat my meal
I’ll tell you how I really feel
You know whoever picked this produce
on my table
Ought to get a better deal

Whoever picks and hoes and chops
Whoever brings in all these crops
They don’t do no hangin’ around
So give it up, a penny more per pound

When they stand up for their fair share
When they stand up for their fair share
Well, I want to be in that number,
When they stand up for their fair share

When we stand up, and when we shout
Respect is what it’s all about
Well, I want to be in that number,
Respect is what it’s all about

Nos levantamos
Juntos gritamos
Es por respeto que luchamos
Seguiremos, y ganaremos
La justicia al fin vendrá

When we stand up, and when we shout
Respect is what it’s all about
Well, I want to be in that number,
Respect is what it’s all about
