California Gov. Newsom has allotted $5 million to support those displaced by the January shootings at two farms in Half Moon Bay.
. A week after the killings, advocates told NBC News that families were struggling to meet basic needs.
“This mass shooting, the gun violence issue, compounds some already pretty terrible living and working conditions,” Cynthia Choi, co-executive director of advocacy group Chinese for Affirmative Action, told NBC News in January after meeting with survivors. “We have individuals who no longer have a place to live because they lived on the farm … Obviously, they don’t want to go back.”
Five of the seven killed in Half Moon Bay were Chinese farmworkers, a population that Choi said already goes unacknowledged. Without in-language support systems in the area, groups like Choi's had to fill the void in initially finding housing and food for those who were displaced. “When you think about farmworkers and migrant workers, you often don’t think of Asians,” Choi said. “But of course we have a history of Asians who are agricultural workers, especially in California. I think locally and on the coast, there’s just very little information.
