Eliza Gilkyson - Vayan al Norte - Thirsting for Justice

Eliza Gilkyson plays Vayan al Norte at the Vigil & Hunger/Thirst Strike for Justice in Austin, organized by the Workers Defense Project/ Proyecto Defensa Laboral.

We (The Workers Defense Project) are asking City Council to pass an ordinance to guarantee construction workers the right to rest breaks and clean drinking water. Last summer in Austin, Jeffrey Louis Willenborg died from heat exhaustion after working several days in construction. "These deaths are absolutely preventable, there is no reason why we should have anyone working under these types of conditions," states WDP board member Hector Hernández.
