6. Ask any grocery worker: The work has changed during the COVID pandemic, as workers bear the burden of keeping our community safe while accessing food & supplies. Sanitizing, enforcing masks/distancing, ramping up pickup services, & more. #HazardPayNOW secure.everyaction.com/tJvIE…

Nothing makes it easy to go to work every day facing the risk of catching a deadly virus. But hazard pay respects essential work, helps retain an essential workforce, shares pandemic profits, & helps workers afford housing & childcare. #HazardPayNOW secure.everyaction.com/tJvIE…

It’s also not lost on me that the dangers of working in grocery stores during the pandemic are felt especially by our BIPOC communities, as employees of color are overrepresented in the retail frontline workforce and those communities are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.
