10. Food Protections

"- Protect our food supply chain and keep it running.

"- Create safety guidelines about screening food industry employees for COVID-19.

"- Require the use of employee physical distancing and face masks at food supply chain facilities.

"- Institute protocols for when employees test positive.

11. Food Supply Chain Reorganization

"- Reorganize food supply packaging and distribution to make for more practical consumption.

12. Moratoriums During Pandemic

"- There should be moratoriums on evictions, foreclosures, and utility shut-offs, as well as suspensions of payment on mortgage loans for primary residences (mortgages and rents) and utility bills. Otherwise, the outlook for foreclosures could be in double-digit millions.

"- No one should lose their home during this crisis and everyone must have access to clean water, electricity, heat and air conditioning. And we must restore utility services to any customers who have had their utilities shut off.

13. Small- And Medium-Sized Businesses

"- The federal government needs to work with and aid affected businesses to provide direct payroll costs for small- and medium-sized businesses to keep workers employed until this crisis has passed. Otherwise, businesses might not survive long enough to benefit from disaster relief.

14. Employment Guarantees

"- Employers should be required to restore workers on paid medical leave, who return, and to their former position, pay and benefits.

"- All other benefits should continue to accrue for workers while on paid medical leave.

15. Expand Unemployment Insurance
