Barber repeats the word "first" and follows each "first" with different things poor/low-wage people have been subjectgated to or endured during the pandemic. The word "First" means that it comes before all others, so by repeating the word "first", Barber emphasizes that poor and low-wage people have endured the pains of this pandemic before all others and ultimately more than all others. By repeating "first", Barber emphasizes all the different ways poor and low-wage people have suffered, forcing his audience to feel empathy or sadness for our front-line low-wage workers, and ultimately moving his audience to be in support of the $15.00 an hour minimum wage.
