Hi friend,
GOP Sen. Tim Scott blasted the concept of a living wage as “not common sense.”
Working Americans having to work more than one job to pay rent is not common sense. Letting billionaires increase their wealth by paying their employees starvation wages is not common sense. Mothers having to choose between feeding their children and paying for medication is not common sense.
But making sure Americans are paid enough to survive is.
The federal minimum wage has stagnated for over a decade. As we battle a pandemic, it's crucial that we ensure American workers are paid fairly. And with our Democratic majority in Washington, we have a chance to do just that.
But the GOP is focused on getting as many big checks from their billionaire and corporate donors as possible, which is why they're determined to keep wages low and make sure Americans remain impoverished for decades.
Americans are suffering now more than ever, which is why it's critical that we boost the minimum wage to a living wage. We need you with us as we fight to stop the GOP from further enriching their donors by electing progressive leaders who are dedicated to ensuring Americans have the resources they need to thrive.
Big corporations are seeing record profits, which means they're able to keep cutting checks to the GOP. At Progressive Majority, we rely only on grassroots donations, and we need supporters like you to chip in to make sure we don't fall behind.
