@StrandedWorkers a volunteer group that came together during the lockdown in 2020 and 2021 to help workers in distress recognised for its work. This was a motley group of volunteers who did what little they could. Hoping we don't ever have to see such horrifying times again.

The pain of #Covid & #LockDownSessions are felt most by people who can't work from home. #UnorganisedWorkers run the economy, & keep democracy alive. @jan_sarokar @mkssindia @pbhushan1 @StrandedWorkers @migrant_IN @rozi_roti @Jayati1609 @ShillongTimesIn @PAEG_India @AmitabhBehar
