It’s your last chance to tell Congress to pass the Raise the Wage Act![link removed] [[link removed]]

Dear John,

The House of Representatives is voting on the Raise the Wage Act TOMORROW ! If the bill passes, we are one step closer to a $15 federal minimum wage — and it’s about time. Congress hasn’t voted on raising the minimum wage in over a decade, and tipped workers haven’t seen a raise in 28 years. Their inaction has disproportionately affected women — especially women of color — across the country, putting them at a higher poverty risk than their male counterparts. If the Raise the Wage Act is signed into law, it will give nearly one in three working women a raise.

That includes:

41 percent of black working women.
38 percent of Latina working women.
More than one-third of all working moms, and 43 percent of working single moms.

We need the Raise the Wage Act NOW!

Tell Your Representative to Pass the Raise the Wage Act! [[link removed]]

Urge your lawmaker to support working women and families.

TAKE ACTION [act.nwlc.org/onlineactions/Vb_rNvtyc0yKJVCm5JdCoA2?emci=b3673483-c7a8-e911-bcd0-281878391efb&emdi=46dce6ab-d1a8-e911-bcd0-281878391efb&ceid=860030&contactdata=JG5KMYXpM3eSbwRPoq7A1OX5Vd16qRtRSF9k4CkgUaAkaL8s1roxILEUW7GNIoemMq11SqoZvTIsNexD2YSQA9ThL4l7AJw6aUgYTPssleAjI8qy2xFrH1DtQjLFULfxKzvB2VI4ItiC3/bGifbZrw==]
