Not twenty minutes after the police first arrived on the scene, Floyd was laying on the ground showing no signs of life. Several of the officers held him on the ground, including white officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt on Floyd's neck for over eight minutes, even after Floyd pleaded that he couldn't breathe multiple times and became unresponsive. Floyd was pronounced dead not long after he was transported to a medical facility. Witnesses' videos of Floyd's death spread around the world and sparked an international outcry. Minneapolis erupted in protest and a brief period of unrest and protests calling for racial equality and serious policing reform spread across the country, leading to a historic year of protest in the United States.Caption:Rain pours as local activist C'Monie Scott raises her fist while people chant for justice around her at a memorial site for George Floyd outside of Cup Foods June 2, 2020.

The historic drought combined with zero percent water allocation for farmers in the San Joaquin Valley means that many farmers are fallowing fields and many field workers are unemployed. In Mendota, a rural city of about 11,000 people about 35 miles west of Fresno, the jobless rate was at 36 percent in April 2014.

The Markegards started their grass-fed business nine years ago on 1,000 acres of land they’ve leased for years in Half Moon Bay. As the drought worsened this year, they saw their 16 water sources shrink to just one. They’ve had to move their 4-500 head of cattle to land leased off the property because all of the water sources on their land have dried up, including the spring that used to provide water for their home. Now they have to haul in water for their family once about every three weeks. “We watch every drop,” said Doniga about their water conservation. If the drought does not let up, the couple will be forced to sell the herd they’ve been building for 10 years. https://storage.neonsky.app/54ee5a3993e9f/images/website_drought_lkm_006.jpg Evening falls over a gnarled tree and a small home April 13, 2015 near Tulare, Calif.
