very
cool,.
The
music
has
a
variety,
so
no,,
let's
not
say
more
about
the
party.
Let's.
A
Continue
with
our
next
topic,
today,
right?
Let's
continue
with
this
topic.
As
we
have
said.
Today,
we
are
fulfilling
today,
right,,
but
in
the
month
of
December,
migrant
justice
is
celebrating
13
years
of
being
in
the
fight,
right.
Thirteen
years
of
organizing
ourselves,
three
years
of
win
truth
and
swim
against
the
current.
True,
that's
why
our
show
is
called
swimming
against
the
current,
because
we
are
always
swimming
against
the
current
swimming
against
unfair
systems.
True
So!
Well,
that's
why.
A
Our
show
is
called
So,
we'll
be
going.
Let's
put
some
photos
right,
now,
right,
So,
that
together
we
can
remember
what
these
13
years
have
been
like
in
the
history
of
migrant
justice,.
Right?
We
want
to
show
our
colleagues
here
Right,.
As
we
see
here
on
the
screen,,
we
have
Enrique,
right,,
we
have
Don
Taxi,.
This
is
Juan,.
Naty
is
Poncho.
These
years
ago,
I
remember
right.
I
arrived
in
2013
and
to
migrant
justice.
A
A
cool
organization
had
already
earned
the
license
all
of
this
right,
but
here
we
see
many
of
the
compañeros
who
were
involved
from
that
moment.
Right
So.
Yes,
true
this
true
for
Here,
we
can
also
see
this,
not
that,
as
we
were
saying
right,
now,
right?
Many
of
you
are
going
to
arrive
tomorrow,
driving,,
but
how
come
we
won?
The
license?
Right?
Where
did
this
license
come
from?
Right?
It
comes
from
the
compañeros
assemblies.
13
years
ago.
He
said
Well,
look,
I
can't
move,
I
can't
go
to
the
hospital
or
to
buy
food,.
Right?
A
I
haven't
eaten
for
two
days
and
they
don't
want
to
take
me
to
bring
food,.
So
the
idea
of
fighting
for
a
license
for
the
right
to
move
freely,
no
So.
How
can
we
see
there
in
the
photo,
right,
right,
like
there
in
the
photo?
We
had
colleagues
like
Abel,
García,
right,,
who
is
there
showing
his
photo
on
the
license,?
We
have
the
other
colleague
here,.
We
can
see
here,
on
the
left
hand
side
from
below,
not
to
compañeros
who,
like
over
truth,
like
Freddy.
Let.
A
's
see
what
else
is
out
there
I
think
Enrique.
Is
there
too
I
can
see
it
from
here,
true
compañeros,
who,
day
by
day
day
by
day
and
night
after
night?
No,
they
didn't
let
their
guard
down.
They
continued
to
organize
themselves
fighting
with
more
members
of
the
community
and,
as
we
can
see
there
Arribita
left
hand
right.
We
won
this.
What
is
the
driver's
license
in
the
state
of
Vermont?
Now
we
have
a
license.
It
doesn't
matter
where
you
are
from
What
color,
you
are,
you
can
drive
in
Vermont
right
And,
yes,
yes,
How!
A
Can
we
continue
to
see
other
true
photos
of
the
community,
true
of
these
thirteen
years,
to
remember
the
people
who
have
helped
transform
this
industry,?
Not
as
we
can
see
here,
we
have
Baldo
over
there,
I
see
Baldo
I,
don't
know
if
I
see
Abel
over
there
I
see
Enrique,
back
there,
I
also
see
Danna,
a
true
ally,,
also
recognizing
all
the
allies
in
these
last
13
years,
well,.
Without
them
it
would
not
have
been
the
same,.
Not
here
we
see
the
band
in
an
assembly
there
in
the
northeast,.
A
Let's
see
García,
see,
Lencho
I,
see,
I,
think
that
I
see
Olga
there
I
see
Baldo
I
see
some
allies
also
there
who
were
not
accompanying
me
agreement
of
that
assembly
very
clearly
that
we
played
the
lottery
right
and
that
was
in
2013
Well
there.
It
is.
No
I
can't
lie
to
you
right
from
this.
Since
those
years
right,
the
band
was
already
organizing
right
asking
for
fair
food
right
asking
for
dignity,
as
we
can
see
in
the
following
photos
right
that
they
are
coming
No.
Well,
yes,
right!
A
These
are
some
of
the
leaders
who
have
always
been
there
behind
the
path
of
migrant
Justice.
There
are
already
many
more
true
people,
as
we
can
see
here
now.
Well,
many
of
us
true,
because
we
have
a
day
off.
We
have
the
right
to
a
fair
salary
to
decent
housing.
True,
we
have,
for
example,
if
something
in
the
ranch,
we
can
call
the
council,
and
we
know
there
will
be
a
solution
No,.
But
where
does
milk
with
dignity
come
from?.
A
The
same
community
with
the
same
need
for
a
compañero
that
many
of
you
remember
from
a
great
compañero,
a
great
leader,
Víctor
Díaz.
No,
who
lived
on
a
ranch
in
a
in
a
camper
where
it
rained
water,
fell
on
him.
He
slept
sitting
with
three
other
compañeros
in
a
car.
Milk
with
dignity
is
born
from
there,
right
from
the
Band
saying
well,
like
Víctor,.
There
are
many
other
compas
in
Vermont;.
A
Above
on
the
left,
the
first
milk
march
with
dignity
in
front
of
a
ranch
there,
we
can
see
Lencho
Alex
a
lot
of
truth
to
this
brendan
one
of
the
organizers
with
migrant
justice.
We
can
see
Tino
a
lot
of
band
a
lot
of
band
right
now.
Even
memories
come
to
my
mind,
nothing
more
than
seeing
the
community,
right?.
A
No
one
has
given
us
everything
we
have
achieved
here
in
Vermont,
right
from
the
license
to
milk
with
dignity.
No
one
has
not
given
them
right.
They
have
been
leaders
of
the
same
community
who
have
dedicated
their
time
right
to
transform
this
industry
right
And
in
doing
so
Well
Now
many
of
us
can
enjoy
those
benefits,,
but
it
is
important
to
recognize
that
nobody
has
given
us
Nothing
here
the
same
Band
The
same
community,
yes,.
A
We
can
see
Carlos
Díaz
there
on
the
left
hand
side,
as
we
could
see
our
compañero
edurbi,
no
longer
true
He
is
with
us,
but
it
is
very
nice,
right
to
remember,
right,
that
all
these
people
have
been
important
in
the
path
of
migrant
justice
to
achieve
dignity
and
respect,.
Right?
So,,
with
many
challenges,
right?
We
have
managed
to
get.
A
Ahead;
true,
because
our
struggle,
true,
as
we
say,
have
been
difficult
years
long
years,
where
we
have
achieved
many
things,
true
But,
also
in
our
struggle.
True
well,
love
has
been
born.
True
in
our
struggles,
love
has
been
born
comrades,
as
we
can
see
here
in
one
of
the
photos:
true,
two
great
leaders
of
migrant
Justice,
Salvador
and
Olga.
True
at
the
party
eight
years
ago,
well,
salva
proposed
to
Olga
no
and
well
all
this
begins
in
the
fight,
not
together
working
organizing
to
stop
the
migra.
A
No,
then
well,
yes,
How,
nice,
comrades,
Not,
how
nice
this
is,
well,
to
be
able
to
remember
some
of
those
stories.
Some
of
those
true
moments
that
we
have
had
as
a
community
have
been
13
years,
13
very
beautiful
years,
three
years
for
full
of
many
triumphs
of
great
joy,
And.
Also
many
challenges,,
not
especially
since
these
last
two
We
know
that
these
have
been
difficult,
years,
right,,
but
despite
that,,
we
have
continued
to
organize
ourselves,
fighting
and
transforming
life
for
the
entire
band.
Here
in
Vermont,,
not
so,,.
A
Then,
briefly,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
next
topic,
right,.
We
already
talked
a
little
about
the
party,.
We
talked
a
little
about
the
13
years,,
remembering
the
band
a
bit,,
the
leaders,,
some
of
these
key
moments
that
we
have
had
as
an
organization,
right,,
and
now
we
are
going
to
talk
about
another
important
topic,
right
for
Well,
yes,
and
to
start
closing
our
day,
as
we
said,
today
is
a
small
show.
Well,,
because
tomorrow
we
have
the
party
and
we
want
to
be
there
at
one
hundred.
A
We
are
doing
What
is
happening.
What
is
coming
to
us
right
now
with
the
milk
with
dignity.
Briefly
right,
we
have,
as
with
many
of
you
know.
Well,
October
November
was
full
of
actions.
Many
of
you
were
able
to
accompany
the
local
actions
that
took
place
in
Hannah
outside
here
in
Burlington.
True
And
I
know
that
many
of
you
are
asking
well
what's
next,
how
do
I
continue
supporting
Exactly
So
here
on
screen?
True,
we
have
this
this
flyer,
true
Where.
A
We
are
inviting
the
entire
band
on
December
18,
a
Sunday
True
from
ten
in
the
morning
to
twelve
o'clock
an
hour
and
a
half
right
where
we
are
asking
the
band
Well,
that
they
join
us
that
we
all
accompany
each
other
that
we
arrive.
We
will
be
there
in
middleberry.
We
are
going
to
start
in
the
parking
lot
of
the
kennis
pharmacy.
I
know
that
a
lot
of
band
arrive
there
to
deposit
money
to
buy
some
things,
so
many
of
you
already
know
the
place,
so
that
is
where
we
are
going
to
be
right.
A
A
A
A
Really
briefly,
it's
a
video
that
we
've
made
thanks
to
the
photographer,
right,.
They
always
help
us
They're,
always
there
with
the
cameras.
But.
We
have
that
video
to
tell
a
story,
right,
tell
the
story
that
the
migrant
community
here
in
the
state
of
Vermont
is
going
to
continue
standing
up,.
It's
going
to
continue
standing
up,
right
until
Hannahford
signs.
The
The
milk
contract
with
dignity
is
very
important,,
no,,
so
yes,.
How
can
we
put
this
last
photo,
right?
What?
We
have
here,.
How
can
we
see
this
year,
2022.
A
A
band
that
was
doing
their
bit
right
so
that
we
take
concrete
steps
right
and
keep
moving
Hannahford,.
Not.
For
example,
we
can
see
many
fathers
here
right
that
it
was
Father's
Day,
demanding
Hannah
for
the
truth
that
well
how
unfair
right
that
We
were
working
on
that
day
without
being
able
to
talk
or
be
with
our
our
children,
our
family,.
We
see
our
colleagues,
our
colleagues,,
our
children,.
Are
they
there
declaring
Alejandra
because
well,
the
injustice
of
not
being
able
to
spend
the
day
with
her
father,?
A
Not
even
though
she
works
very
close
together
So,
as
we
can
see,,
it
is
not
one
person,
nor
two,
nor
three,.
Nor
four
who
want
milk
with
dignity,.
We
are
a
complete
community,,
right,
compañeros,.
We
are
a
complete
community
of
workers
who
are
asking
for
this,
no,,
so
we
have
to
continue
doing
what
we
we
have
to
keep
doing.
It's
fighting.
We
have
to
keep
organizing,
right?.
A
It's
not
important
to
put
your
grain
of
sand
and
yes,
when
one
least
expects
it,
it's
true
with
Benny
Jerry.
We
spent
three
years
and
we
said
well,
when
is
Jerrys
manis
going
to
sign,,
not
after
seeing
now,
well,
as
you
can
see,,
there
is
already
a
big
difference
and
we
know
that
The
same
is
going
to
happen
with
Hannah.
False,.
We
have
to
continue
fighting
there.
We
're,
going
to
make
it,
we've
achieved.
So
many
cool
things
in
the
last
13
years.
A
stop
screwing
around
and
stop
harassing
us,
the
truth.
Is,.
We
have
achieved
milk
with
dignity,
change,
the
house,,
the
salary,,
the
treatment,,
educate,
ourselves,,
so
I
think
there
is
nothing
to
stop
us,
comrades,.
That
is
what
I
want
to
say
in
short,
13,
very
cool
years,,
a
community
that
we
are
organized
and
let
's
continue
there.
No
change
is
coming,
hannahford
is
going
to
sign,
but
we
have
to
keep
making
him
feel
the
pressure
right
and
yes,
comrades.
A
No,
I
don't
want
to
take
much
more
of
your
time
as
we
promised
it's
a
short
show
today
right.
Nothing
else.
Maybe
I
wanted
to
mention
that,
well,.
Yes,
tomorrow,
at
6
pm
in
Burlington,
right?
The
address
is
there
on
Facebook,
we're
going
to
have
instructions
on
how
to
get
there,
please,
again,
if
you
want
to
win
a
prize,
right?
A
that
they
can
participate
in
the
raffle,,
buy
all
the
tickets,
right,
I
'm,
going
to
buy
all
the
tickets
I
can
see
if
I'm
taking
that
TV
It's,
not
true,,
right
But.
If
we
want
everyone
to
participate,
well,,
we
also
know
it's
a
fundraiser,.
We
also
do
n't.
Do
this
party
to
celebrate
the
triumphs,
but
also
to
continue
raising
funds.
And
then
continue
with
the
fight
that
we
have
right.
Well,
yes,
colleagues,
I
think
there
is
not
much
more.
That
was
all
for
today.
We
are
waiting
for
you
tomorrow.
A
We
want
to
wish
you
a
happy
new

other

all
the
best
wishes

all
of
your
wishes
come
true
and
all
your
goals
are
also
fulfilled.

nice,
Merry,
