They had whole systems where they had basically like a pre-Uber where they identified the people who had cars and they went to take these people to work.
And they also made sure that they had organized groups of people to walk together miles and miles and miles so that they wouldn't face the violence on their way to walking to work.

And during this time, when there's more keeping us up at night than ever, I've been looking for things to calm and soothe me before bedtime.
In my quest, I came across Osea's Dream Collection.
Okay, this is a female-founded, family-owned company out of California, and it creates clean, clinically tested skincare from the sea.
They use marine plants and algae, so it's rich in vitamins and minerals and nutrients.
I don't know how to describe it, but it's like a stress-reducing mini massage.
As you put on their Dream Night Serum and Dream Night Cream on your face, I recommend you check it out.
Give your skin a rest with clean, clinically tested skincare from Osea.
