"Farmworkers 'are second-class modern-day slaves that nobody seems to care about,' said Ann López, executive director of Center for Farmworker Families, an organization that promotes awareness about farmworker living and working conditions. Substandard housing issues exposed by the Half Moon Bay shooting aren’t new or unique, López said, and many elected officials have long ignored the crisis.
'I’ve worked on this issue for 25 years and haven’t seen any improvement,' she said."
