Fair wages are a cornerstone of a just society. Period.
It's time for us to come together and demand that our government finally take action to raise the minimum wage and ensure that workers can earn a livable income.
If you agree that Congress needs to raise the minimum wage, add your name now! [[link removed]]

John,
Congress set the federal minimum wage at $7.25 per hour over a decade ago, and it has remained unchanged ever since. This stagnation has eroded workers' purchasing power and left millions struggling to make ends meet.
But now, there's a chance for change. Senator Bernie Sanders and Congressman Bobby Scott have introduced a crucial proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $17 an hour. This adjustment is essential to reflect the rising cost of living and to ensure that workers can support themselves and their families with dignity.
It's time for Congress to understand the reality faced by workers across the nation. With the cost of living soaring, a $7.25 minimum wage is simply not enough to survive, let alone thrive. Senator Sanders said it best: "Nobody in this country can survive on $7.25."
We need your voice to make this change a reality. Sign our petition and tell Congress to stand up for workers' rights by raising the federal minimum wage to $17 an hour. Every signature brings us closer to a fairer and more just society for all. [[link removed]]

About BlueAmp Action:
We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world.
We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits.
And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.
When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.
Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.
So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.
Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
