Additional quotes by Maurice Bishop
Our Revolution in Grenada is a people's Revolution and as such one of the fundamental principles of our Revolution is the establishment of the people's rights. Among these rights, we include the right to equal pay for men and women, the right to social and economic justice, the right to work and the right to democratic participation in the affairs of our nation.
I am appealing to all the people, gather at all central places all over the country, and prepare to welcome and assist the people's armed forces when they come into the your area. The Revolution is expected to consolidate the position of power within the next few hours.
LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE OF GRENADA!
LONGLIVE FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY!
LET US TOGETHER BUILD A JUST GRENADA!
People of Grenada, this revolution is for work, for food, for decent housing and health services, and for a bright future for our children and great grandchildren.
The benefit of the Revolution will be given to everyone, regardless of political opinion or which political party they support.
Let us all unite as one. All police stations are again reminded to surrender their arms to the people's revolutionary forces.
