LIVE NOW: I'm at the U.S. Capitol holding an all-day Vigil & Thirst Strike for Workers' Rights. Our climate is in crisis & workers in every state are dying from the heat. @POTUS must create a federal heat rule and save lives — because #WorkersCantWait! https://t.co/n1ORI8Y1ka
Today I’m on a thirst strike on the steps of the U.S. Capitol—not drinking water or taking breaks, through rain or shine, in solidarity with our nation’s workers.
Currently there are NO federal protections for workers exposed to heat. https://t.co/iXcUGTnMmF
.@RepJeffries and @RepSylviaGarcia just joined our Vigil & Thirst Strike for Workers’ Rights.
Workers are counting on @POTUS to create a federal workplace heat rule!
“This month, in the hottest month in Texas history ... supposed leaders ... like Gov. Greg Abbott, stripped workers' right to a water break.”
— Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX), who is on a thirst strike, calls for federal protections for workers exposed to heat
👇🏽This is what leadership looks like. My boss @RepCasar and shero @DoloresHuerta kickoff a vigil and thirst strike for workers’ rights today at the USCapitol to amplify the basic right to a water break while on the job!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The number of 100 degree days could nearly double by 2036 in Texas.
Extremist Republicans like Greg Abbott are denying climate change AND banning local water break laws.
We need @POTUS and @OSHA_DOL to create a federal heat rule now.

SOON: I'm holding an all-day Vigil & Thirst Strike for Workers’ Rights at the U.S. Capitol.
Every worker deserves the right to a basic water break, even if extremists like Greg Abbott don't think so.
#WorkersCantWait for a federal workplace heat rule. https://t.co/thXLFrUPgK
Bought-and-paid-for politicians like Greg Abbott are stripping workers of their right to a water break in the middle of a historic heat wave. It’s insane. (2/5)
🧵 TODAY: I’m leading a group of 110+ Members of Congress in calling on @POTUS & @OSHA_DOL to create federal heat protections for all workers. #WorkersCantWait (1/5)

Our goal is to build an economy that takes care of workers and families, not just the ultra wealthy’s wallets.
It was a pleasure meeting with @CityofKirby1 Mayor Janeshia Grider today, and talking about how we can invest in our #TX35 communities.
ICYMI: NASA tapped astronaut Joe Acaba to play a central role in selecting who goes to the moon.
Acaba is the first person of Hispanic heritage to lead the Astronaut Office, and he will help make crew assignments for future missions. https://t.co/m9vGUL91zZ via @houstonchron
As the proud father to my five-month-old son Hodge, it is an honor to launch the first Congressional Dads Caucus!
The formation of this Caucus is rooted in a simple idea: Dads need to do our part, both at home and in the halls of Congress. 1/4
