$7.25 — that’s the federal minimum wage right now,
John.

The federal minimum wage was raised to $7.25 on July 24, 2009 — exactly
SIXTEEN years ago TODAY — and it’s remained the same ever since. According
to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, $7.25 in 2025 has the buying power
of less than $5 in 2009.

In those sixteen years, we’ve all seen the cost of living skyrocket.
Housing costs are higher. Groceries are more expensive. Healthcare costs
are through the roof. And yet millions of workers are still being paid
wages that don’t even cover the basics.

Let’s be clear: If they wanted to, Congress could raise the minimum wage.
But year after year, corporate-backed politicians have blocked every
attempt to deliver real raises for working Americans. They have no idea
what it’s like to live paycheck-to-paycheck — and they have no sympathy
for anyone who does.

With your help, we can root these power-hungry politicians out of Congress
and elect leaders who will actually stand up for families like yours by
working to increase the minimum wage and lower costs across the board. So
what do you say, John?

families by chipping in $10 or whatever you can today? We’re
building an entirely grassroots movement, without a cent from corporate
PACs or billionaire mega-donors, to take back power for everyday Americans
— and we won’t be able to do it without your support.
