A friend sent me this story about Lloyd Carter, an environmental activist in Fresno. I think it is good information to share, especially since it is occurring in the area we will be visiting. As a quick summary, Lloyd Carter is a the deputy attorney general is being pressured to resign from his post in the California Save Our Streams Council after commenting on farmworker's social position in a local tv interview.

It is reported that Carter said the children of farmworkers "are the least educated people who turn to lives of crime. They go on welfare. They get into drug trafficking and they join gangs."

Farmworkers and other groups are advocating for Carter to resign from his position in the Attorney General's Office in Sacramento. The farm workers have organized themselves to meet with lawmakers. Attorney General has condemned Carter's remarks but has not acted towards any action.
