People all over the country are working 2 jobs and
still can’t make ends
meet.
Everything keeps going up: rent, groceries,
childcare, medicine… a paycheck from a minimum wage job
of $7.25/hr doesn’t cover basic
expenses.
And while millions struggle to survive a
pandemic on poverty wages, corporations are raking in record profits.
Congress has a chance to give raises to nearly 40 million working
people -- but they’ll only do it if WE demand
action.
Add
your name to demand that Congress takes urgent action to raise the
federal minimum wage to
$15/hr.
When lines at the food bank stretch for
blocks, but corporations like Amazon make billions during a pandemic --
it’s clear our system isn’t working.
Raising the minimum wage to $15/hr won’t fix
everything, but it’s a key part of making sure we can better provide
for our families.
We’ve waited too long for a raise that would bring us relief.
Tell Congress that we need $15/hr NOW >>
Working families need $15/hr. Raising the minimum wage will help
narrow racial and gender pay gaps, and finally give essential workers
the chance to get closer to earning a living wage.
Let’s get to $15.
We really
appreciate your participation in this petition, as we expand our efforts
to identify every Democratic voter in the US to make sure they
vote for Democrats in every election.
