Ivonne Gonzales, @workersdefense member, speaking against HB 2127.
Rest breaks for construction workers are a matter of life or death in severe weather conditions. These breaks are one of many critical protections for workers HB 2127 would immediately erase.

NEW: When Texas gave Elon Musk $64 million to build Teslaโs new gigafactory, he promised to keep workers safe.
Instead, many suffered heat strokes, serious injuries, wage theft, and retaliation.
Now those workers are speaking on camera for the first time.

.@WorkersDefense and @WDActionFund are the teams behind the #Quorumbusters campaign this year.
Take a look back at our work this year ๐๐ฝ๐๐พ๐๐ฟ
.@WDActionFund open letter to Texas House Dems.
"You still have the power to shape an agenda that addresses the needs of our communities. That power lies in preventing a quorum for as long as possible." ๐
No real priorities that keep hardworking Texans safe, no quorum. #Quorumbusters ๐ซ๐ป
We're worried about the power grid collapsing & that our children go back to school in a few weeks while COVID continues to surge across the state. Not the far-right priorities of Greg Abbott.
BREAKING: No quorum in the Texas House on day 1 of Special Session 2.0 of the #TXLege. Thank you #Quorumbusters๐ซ๐ป!
We urge every Texas lawmaker to stay out of Austin and continue to fight back against Greg Abbott's right-wing wish list of conservative red meat items.
Today is the last day of the first special session of the #TXLege. Special session 2.0 starts tomorrow so let's show some love to the #Quorumbusters for all they've done so far to move the needle at the federal level.
Write a thank you note here ๐https://t.co/apnKxUbn9Z
As the #Quorumbusters enter their third week in DC, we want to know... What issues other than the far-right agenda @GregAbbott_TX has put forward do you ACTUALLY want addressed? Medicaid expansion? The power grid?!
Let us know with a reply or quote tweet. #TXLege
Donโt have to thank me for being on the right side of history.. I serve all Texans not the false narrative of the evil forces out to destroy our American and Texan way of life..! @workersdefense your efforts will be rewarded.
