Day 1⃣1⃣: @_paulcampion is ending his hunger strike after dire warnings from his doctor and diagnosis of bradycardia.
His condition is stable. He'll transition to the strike support team as they continue to fight for @POTUS to pass his full Build Back Better Act immediately 🧵

“This is the right decision b/c I went on hunger strike to live a full, beautiful life, and this puts me on that path. The suffering we feel doesn’t compare to what thousands will endure if @POTUS doesn’t invest boldly in climate, care & justice." –Paul bit.ly/3Bv6Mn5
Kidus, Abby, Ema & Julie will continue the hunger strike (with the support of a team tracking their health and safety at all times) until Biden gets commitments from @Sen_JoeManchin & @SenatorSinema to pass his climate and jobs plan. They returned to the @WhiteHouse today.
“Our support team is w/ the strikers 24/7 and doctors check in 2x daily. We know the importance of care work for this group and for our communities,” –Ezra, strike support team lead. “Paul is in the refeeding recovery process + role transition from striker to strike support."
It's time for @POTUS to step up his game. That means standing up to fossil fuel CEOs, taking a public stand to stop Line 3 and other pipelines. We deserve a future where we can all live fully––so we can thrive.
We call on folks to join the movement and act on this moment.
