"Monterey County Agriculture is a $4.3 billion-dollar economic sector that depends on 55,000 farmworkers to harvest our crops each year, primarily immigrants; some have resided in our communities for decades.
Our nation’s fresh food supply and local economy are fully dependent on this workforce, and we consider this a #NationalSecurity priority in a time of agricultural labor shortages.” —#MontereyCounty Farm Bureau https://montereycfb.com/immigration-resources/

Five years ago #SantaClaraCounty was a leader in responding to #covid. Now the slow motion surrender is complete. All policies retired, no more notifying staff they were exposed, no outbreak tracking, and departments ordered to stop purchasing test kits. Declared victory and went home.
The recent #SantaClaraCounty #California adult who contracted #measles presumably contracted it while passing through an US airport.
The #CDC is recommending that anyone who is not #vaccinated against measles, should postpone their domestic or international travel until they can get vaccinated based on the number of people who've been infected either in US airports or traveling through international airports
CBC News headline reads "CDC steps up measles travel warning after spread in airplane"

"Many residential care facilities in Santa Clara County and across the country exploit their caretakers. A 2021 Santa Clara County Wage Theft Coalition study revealed 1,628 wage theft cases in the county’s residential care industry affecting 3,474 employees. Caregivers have lost in total more than $15 million in unpaid wages."

I love my County.
"The County of Santa Clara...reaffirms its unwavering support for the county’s immigrant community and connect immigrants who are under threat from the current federal administration to information and resources....
The campaign conveys that immigrants are a vital part of Santa Clara County and that, no matter where we were born or what language we speak, we all share the same dreams. It also serves to assure members of the immigrant community that County services remain available to them and have been reinforced to provide additional layers of support."
