Rep. Greg Casar is leading a thirst strike at US Capitol.

strike.
As you read this, Texas progressive Congressman Greg Casar is holding a
thirst strike on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. That means he isn’t
drinking water or taking breaks from standing on the Capitol steps *all
day* in solidarity with workers.
Workers are getting sick and even dying in this historic heat wave -- and
there is NO federal law that protects workers from the heat. Instead of
helping everyday people, extremists like Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott
are passing laws to eliminate workers’ limited rights to things like water
breaks.
As a community organizer in Austin, Texas, in 2010, Casar organized thirst
strikes he credits as "critical" in passing a city ordinance that mandated
10-minute water and shade breaks every four hours for construction workers
-- the very law Greg Abbott is now nullifying. Now, he is bringing the
successful tactic to Congress.
Actions like this put oxygen in the room for pro-worker demands across the
board.
[ [link removed] ]Can you say thanks to Congressman Casar by chipping in $3 to his
reelection campaign? This is what it looks like to FIGHT BOLDLY for basic
worker rights.
In polls, Republicans -- absurdly -- often beat Dems on questions like
"Which party do you trust more on economy?"
To win in 2024, Dems need to be seen more clearly standing with workers.
Today, Greg and many allies in Congress will be visually standing up for
workers all day long and getting a ton of media attention.
This underscores the impact of having progressive organizers in Congress
who understand the power of inside-outside organizing. It's a good example
of why we get excited when someone like Greg runs for Congress.

Say thanks to Congressman Greg Casar by chipping in to his reelection
campaign today and showing that boldness is rewarded!
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
