Uruguay: "La solidaridad no se agracede, se retribuye."

Thanks to peasants, farm workers, fisher folks, bakers, & kitchen staff for our food & drinks; factory & office workers for the things & services we need; women who are daily martyrs whose work at home is not fully appreciated; activists who act as the conscience of society, reminding officials they occupy positions of trust to serve the people; social environmentalists who fight for the integrity of all life forms; & those who gave up their lives for justice so that we may have a better life now & in the future.
