Tell Mitch McConnell: Hold a vote on the Raise the Wage Act!
|
Friend,
Can you believe that over a decade ago, the federal minimum wage was raised to $7.25 and hasn't gone up since?
Ilhan has continually pushed for a living wage, co-sponsoring the Raise the Wage Act that passed in the House seven months ago today... but Mitch McConnell refuses to bring the legislation to a vote in the Senate.
Will you join Ilhan in calling on Mitch McConnell to hold a vote on the Raise the Wage Act so that we can raise the minimum wage to at least $15 an hour?
Hardworking Americans can’t afford to wait another month. In Minnesota, only half of the 10 most in-demand jobs pay the $15 an hour needed to make a basic living.
In a country of such great wealth, it’s outrageous that wages are stagnant while the cost of living continues to go up. There’s no reason anyone working full-time should have to choose between paying the rent or putting food on the table.
Join Ilhan in calling on Mitch McConnell to hold a vote on the Raise the Wage Act!
Thanks for speaking truth to power.
Team Ilhan
