The way I see it, no one in this country should work full-time and still
live in poverty — period.

But today’s federal minimum wage can’t keep a full-time working mama and
her baby out of poverty. Not to mention, recent studies have found that a
minimum wage earner working a 40-hour week can’t afford a two-bedroom
apartment anywhere in the country. 

The last time Congress increased it was 2007. Sixteen years ago. Three
presidencies ago. The first-ever iPhone was just announced for sale. The
series finale of The Sopranos had just aired. 

Yeah, that long ago. 

That is wrong, and that is why I’m fighting to raise it.

So I’m co-sponsoring a bill with Senator Bernie Sanders and dozens of our
colleagues to increase the minimum wage to $17 an hour. 

[ [link removed] ]It’s long past time to deliver a raise to tens of millions of
hardworking Americans, and we need to mobilize as much support as possible
to get momentum behind this bill. So add your name if you agree our
government must raise the minimum wage, and let’s fight side by side to
make it happen.

This is an issue that hits close to home for me.

After my daddy had a heart attack, he couldn’t work for a while. Bills
piled up. We lost the family station wagon, and it looked like the house
could be next.

But one day, I walked in on my mother pacing back and forth in her
bedroom, with a black dress laid out on the bedspread. The dress that only
came out for weddings, funerals, and graduations. “We are not going to
lose this house,” she kept saying. “We are not going to lose this house.”

She’d never worked outside the home. She was terrified. But she knew what
she had to do. She put on that dress, she walked down the street to Sears,
and she got a minimum wage job that saved our house and saved our family.

But families in that same situation today wouldn’t be able to say the same
thing. The cost of living has skyrocketed while wages have stayed
stagnant. Greedy corporations are taking advantage of working families any
chance they get. CEOs are being paid 399 times as much as a typical
worker. (We’ve also got a bill to address this, the Tax Excessive CEO Pay
Act, which would tax companies on the basis of their CEO-to-worker
compensation ratio.)

Raising the federal minimum wage  is part of how we put our government on
the side of working people — not just the rich and powerful.

[ [link removed] ]But to get this done, Washington needs to see the American people
demanding action. Add your name if you support raising the minimum wage to
$17 an hour.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
