Despite cities and states across the nation ordering people to stay at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, gig workers are still out there delivering food to people and giving them rides for essential errands. Some companies have begun offering paid sick leave to workers but there’s more to be done, according to Gig Workers Collective.

Led by two Instacart worker-activists, Vanessa Bain and Sarah Clarke (a pseudonym to protect her identity), Gig Workers Collective has created a mutual aid tool for their fellow gig workers.
