Protect grocery workers from Covid-19

Grocery workers — and actually the entire food supply chain — are among the most vital workers in enabling a Covid-19 response that asks residents to stay at home as much as possible. Many of them are not adequately protected by their employers, however. Today, I signed a petition asking for grocery stores to, among other things, allow their workers to wear masks and gloves while at work to reduce the chances of community transmission that would shut down our food system.
