Description

Rose Scott of Atlanta’s WABE and Mina Kim of San Francisco’s KQED get a better understanding of what life is like for the workers who have been defined as “essential.” These workers have been living with the fear of being exposed to the coronavirus while providing services -- from grocery store clerks to healthcare workers. Guests include Keith Parker, President and CEO of Goodwill of North Georgia and former General Manager/CEO of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority; Mily Trevino, longtime Central Valley farmworker and founder of Lideres Campesinas, a non-profit supporting farmworker women and girls; and Debbie Berkowitz of the National Employment Law Project and a formerOSHA official.
