The Essentials
While most of us are dealing with homeschooling and boredom — zoning out in Zoom meetings and binge-watching Netflix — there are millions of people in California out there on the frontlines: in hospitals and grocery stores, delivering food and packages. We sing for them each night, and our kids post hearts in their windows as a sign of gratitude.
These workers are part of a larger group whose jobs have been deemed "essential" by the state. We are sharing the overlooked stories of people who are putting themselves and their families in harm's way every time they leave their homes in this new series, "The Essentials."
