Natalia-Deeb Sossa's research on immigrant farmworkers in the local county was featured heavily in an article on the Davis Enterprise. The testimonies she received from immigrant farm laborers paints a daunting image of the fear that these essential workers are facing during the pandemic.
Sossa believes that immigrant farmworkers need better treatment, and she is not alone in thinking this. As shown in another article published in the Davis Enterprise, many people are urging Yolo County to start vaccinations for farmworkers, regardless of their age or legal status. Sossa once again had her comments featured in this article as well, where she advocates for Yolo County to immediately start vaccinating farmworkers.
