The math speaks for itself: raising the minimum wage would give 32 million Americans a raise that is nearly a decade overdue. It would boost pay for 60% of workers who are currently living in poverty.
In order to get a more robust understanding of what some minimum wage workers are going through, Ro spent an hour as a restaurant server in California.
The fact that the American people haven’t seen an increase to the $7.25 federal minimum wage since 2009 is a disgrace, period.
Our world has transformed in the last 12 years. The cost of living keeps rising and the earnings of CEOs have skyrocketed; meanwhile, wages have stagnated and working families have been left behind.
In solidarity,
Team Ro
