The immigrant marches in spring 2006 inspired Barron to become a U.S. citizen after living in the Bay Area for more than 35 years.

Manuel Espinosa
Manuel Espinosa (from Oxkutzcab, Mexico) has lived in the Bay Area since he was a child. He is not a U.S. citizen, but his wife and child are. In 1994, the passing of California Proposition 187, which denied undocumented or illegal immigrants social services, health care and public education, prompted him to be civically active. Espinosa participated in rallies against the war in Iraq and helped organize his community on the May 1, 2006 nation-wide rally known as "A Day Without Immigrants."

Vince Gutierrez
Vince Gutierrez (from Manila, Philippines) received his green card in May 2004, but current immigration laws prohibit his wife and young son in the Philippines from joining him for at least five years. Gutierrez gets emotional support from UniteFamilies.org, an organization that is lobbying Congress to reinstitute the V-visa which would allow spouses and children to be reunited with green card holders working in the United Sates more quickly.
