Team, we can only raise the federal minimum wage to $15 if Democrats are united on this issue. That's what makes this headline so disappointing:

It has taken a tremendous amount of organizing to get to where we are today on raising the minimum wage -- Pramila will be the first one to tell you that. She's been organizing for years in the Fight for $15. In 2014, Pramila helped make Seattle the first major city in the country to pass a $15 minimum wage. Today, she's championing the issue on a national scale and pushing Congress to pass the Raise the Wage Act.

Pramila and the grassroots organizers who have been fighting to raise the minimum wage to $15 have experienced obstacles before at the state and local levels. But they have always overcome them in the end. Now, Pramila's ready to continue this fight and finally raise the wage to $15 on the federal level.

Can you donate to support Pramila's push to raise the minimum wage to $15, no matter what obstacles come up? She needs your support as she leads this fight in Congress.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your contribution will go through immediately:

This pandemic is no time to hold back -- especially as we witness historic levels of income inequality. Pramila knows that Congress needs to take immediate action to alleviate the economic pressures that have only been magnified by this pandemic. Raising the minimum wage to $15 is a critical step to doing exactly that.

If you agree that we need to finally raise the minimum wage, contribute right now and join Pramila in building the momentum necessary to finally get this done.

Thanks for staying in this fight,

Team Jayapal
