Team —

Today marks 14 years since the last federal minimum wage increase. In those 14 years, folks across the country have felt the squeeze of rising costs.

Here’s what we know. We know that $7.25 per hour is not a living wage. We know that when folks have better wages, they have more money in their pockets and can shop at their local businesses – and that benefits everyone in the economy. And we know that raising the minimum wage is a powerful way to grow the economy from the middle out.

If you agree with Derek that a minimum wage increase is long overdue, sign our petition on today's anniversary of the last federal minimum wage increase.

Look, the idea of raising the minimum wage is plain common sense.

That's why Derek is a proud original cosponsor of legislation that will raise the federal minimum wage for working Americans. Derek is fighting tirelessly for workers' rights and for an economy that works for everyone.

Sign on today if you agree it's time we #RaiseTheWage.

Thank you,

Team Kilmer
