In support of the boycott, two groups entered Cotsco Chula Vista and Wholefoods Hillcrest. The managers of Cotsco expelled the group by force and called the police. Many costumers saw it and supported the boycott. The administration of Wholefoods let the boycott go ahead, but called the police after the group was outside of the store. 







After midnight Saturday, Gloria, Rosa and Karen crossed the border to meet the concert of Rubén Albarrán of Cafe Tacuba. They asked him to support the farmworkers and he did so.
