Tribute and Respect to both frontline and essential workers.
Tribute and Respect to both frontline and essential workers. One of the many lessons that this current crisis teaches us is that many people we usually consider to be low-skilled are actually critical to the proper functioning of our countries. They are in fact recognized key workers. Unfortunately, many of these people are invisible in our acknowledgements of those on the front lines. It is both a symbol and a symptom of the blatant inequality that persists in our cities, our countries and throughout the world. In times of crisis, immigrants and minorities are generally the most impacted class of people. The large majority of essential workers cannot afford to stay at home nor use private cars. They are the most vulnerable among us.
