What we're doing is building a movement that will transform America.

We are good people who want to contribute to this nation. More than anything, people were saying, 'This is who we are. Most of the time we're invisible to society, but this is who we are. We're not criminals. We're families. We're mothers, we're fathers, we're workers'.

If we disagree on the how and when (of a boycott), we're united in the strategy of seeking comprehensive immigration reform.

We don't want people to feel like if they don't boycott they're not participating in the movement, [so] we're offering an additional way that people can participate.

The movement is driven locally, not nationally.

Our challenge is to transform this massive movement of people in the streets into a massive movement of people to the polls. Ultimately in a democracy, your influence depends on putting people in power to represent your interests.

Immigration law is civil law; law enforcement never enforces civil law.

It is critical that we are embraced by the American public.
