Roberto Bustos walked the first march with Chavez from Delano to Sacramento protesting for farm worker's rights. He says there is still a lot of work ahead to protect migrant workers.

Bustos said, "There's still a lot of work to be done yet. There are still a lot of farm workers that need to organize. They need to be unionized, they need to be protected. We still gotta continue, you know?"
