It has been a challenging time for migrant farmworkers in the agricultural communities along the Northern California coast.
One farmworker KPIX spoke with has been out of work for days and the impact can be devastating.
"If they don't work, they don't get paid," Jimenez said, adding it could take days before they can even get back to work. Several homes along the coast also dealt with no electricity; in some cases, the power outage lasted for more than a week. "They were without electricity for eight days, all the food in their refrigerator all went bad," said Jimenez, who is also Half Moon Bay's Vice Mayor.
Several farmworkers and their families lived in mobile homes at the Mountain Mushroom Farm in mobile homes. In the wake of the mass shooting, they have been forced to relocate to hotels and offered mental health and other support."There's a lot of fear," Jimenez said."We have to understand, a lot of our farmworker community is also undocumented, so there's also the fear of that, of their legal status.
