Californians overwhelmingly support legislation that provides enhanced farmworker protections and gives hazard pay to essential workers, according to a poll released by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies. "The patterns continue to show that the coronavirus presents one of the greatest racial justice challenges of our time," IGS Co-Director G. Cristina Mora said in a statement supporting the study. "COVID-19 has exacerbated long-standing inequalities within the state. Communities of color are suffering disproportionately, both economically and socially, and the amount of fear and reported loss, especially among Latinos, is undeniable."
