I used to have a minimum wage job, John.
When I worked full time as a domestic worker during the day, I also needed to work a part time cleaning job at night to make ends meet. I did that for three years, and I know I’m not alone.
Millions of women with minimum wage jobs — especially low-wage workers in the service industry — are living paycheck to paycheck to afford rent, groceries, child care, and basic living expenses. What’s even worse is that the last time Congress even raised the national minimum wage was in 2009.
Minimum wage workers need a raise, and we’re willing to do whatever it takes to get it. That’s why Women’s March is teaming up with One Fair Wage and Sunrise Movement for our largest action yet: A Wage Strike.
Tomorrow, in cities across the country, tipped workers are striking for fair wages for ALL. It’s time to come together in key states to show state and federal leaders that workers want to work, but they won’t do it for starvation wages. Will you look up a rally near you and join us as we strike for a full, fair wage?
Be a part of a historic moment as restaurant workers ramp up the fight to win a $15 minimum wage for all workers, including tipped workers, this summer.
Masks are required for this event for everyone, even if you have been vaccinated!
Hope to see you there!
