The minimum wage hasn’t been raised in over a decade.
But, we are about to enter a new administration full of possibilities. To be able to get to work, we checked in with our supporters — and you made it clear that one of our top priorities in 2021 will be winning a $15 minimum wage.
Middle class families have been struggling due to stagnating or decreasing incomes — coupled with increasing costs of living — which is why Ro is still fighting with Bernie Sanders for a $15 minimum wage. To grow the economy in a way that's fair to the middle class, we need to raise the minimum wage.
If we are going to finally raise the federal minimum wage, we need to show an outpouring of public support to help get this legislation across the finish line. Will you make a contribution and show your support for this fight to win a $15 minimum wage?
Through this pandemic, essential workers have put their lives on the line to keep others safe and cared for. Yet, too many of those workers are receiving as little as $7.25 an hour with little to no health or safety measures.
A higher minimum wage tied to inflation is essential for growing the middle class and for America’s economic prosperity — and this is the year we finally have the power to make that a reality.
In solidarity,
Team Ro
