Trey Martinez Fischer: “We are here as free citizens exercising our First Amendment rights to organize.”

We`re going to stay here and defend democracy and I think at this juncture everybody knows we`ll put all of our tools on the table.

Recess can wait. Our democracy cannot. This is a now-or-never moment for our country.

We do not have that luxury. We have to fight with every tool that we have, from quorum breaks to legislative floor fights to fighting at the courthouse.

We have to stand up for our democracy.
