Dear Friend,
It’s been a decade since the federal minimum wage was increased. The current minimum wage is just $7.25 an hour even though the cost of living is at an all-time high.
A $15 minimum wage would give 40 million workers -- including 5.8 million Americans over the age of 55 -- much needed raises.
A $15 minimum wage would also increase contributions to the Social Security Trust Fund, increasing its long-term stability.
This request is urgent -- the vote is just a couple days away. Make your voice heard by sending a message now.
Thank you for your activism,
Richard Fiesta
