More than 2,000 farm workers and their supporters marched through Yakima, Washington, August 5 demanding the right to legal U.S. residence for undocumented workers and in defense of union rights. They carried out a several-mile-long demonstration, which drew farm workers from throughout Washington and Oregon. Juan Núñez Castillo, a farm worker from Mexico who works part of the year in Washington and part of the year in California, expressed the increased confidence and militancy of many workers when he stated, "I'm marching for amnesty, better pay, and better treatment."
