When I was a labor organizer, we were working on winning water breaks. We got those taken away by the governor, Water breaks for workers in Texas. But now we've been pushing. I had a thirst strike protest on the steps of the Capitol, calling on President Biden to overrule the governor and pass water breaks across the country. And now he's done it. And that'll hopefully go in force next year if we elect Harris as president. So just know that with every victory, there can be loss, but it's. (14:57–15:06)

CLAIM
