On the one-year anniversary of a devastating mass shooting in Half Moon Bay, Dr. Belinda Hernandez-Arriaga addresses ongoing trauma in the immigrant community due to threats and actions taken by the government. Following President Trump's inauguration, reports of immigration raids have left many immigrants scared. Hernandez-Arriaga stresses the need for community solidarity and legal protections for farmworkers. ALAS is responding by hiring an immigration attorney and organizing a safety team to support affected families amidst growing fears related to immigration enforcement.
A mom called me this morning and said her son doesn't want to go to school. He's crying. He's very upset; this is trauma.
As a community, we need to remember all the sentiments... and not lose sight of the commitment and the resolve that we all made to champion our farmworkers.
