Fight for $15

Workers on STRIKE for $15: call your Senator at 888-639-5155 to demand $15/hr and a union for ALL workers now >>

John,

This week marks 12 YEARS since the federal minimum wage was last raised.

That's 12 years of rent going up. 12 years of groceries getting more expensive. 12 years of working even when we're sick because we can't afford to miss a paycheck.

$7.25/hour wasn't enough to survive in 2009, and it's definitely not enough for workers to recover from this pandemic.

Today we're on strike across the country to demand a federal $15/hr minimum wage and union rights NOW. Add your voice and call 888-639-5155 to tell your Senators to #RaiseTheWage for ALL.

We've seen corporations give CEOs multi-million dollar bonuses -- during a pandemic -- all the while telling workers like us they can't afford to pay us a living wage.

That's a slap in the face to workers who put our health and safety at risk working on the front lines of the pandemic. We know they can afford it -- our movement has already won billions of dollars in raises for millions of workers in more than 40 cities and 10 states. If we can make corporations like McDonald's pay $15 an hour in those places, they can pay $15/hr everywhere. They could do it tomorrow, if they wanted, but they won't unless lawmakers in Washington make them.

Tell your Senators to support workers and pass a federal $15/hr minimum wage. Call 888-639-5155 NOW.

We deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and that means $15/hr and union rights for ALL.

In solidarity,

Cathy Sherwin
McDonald's worker
St. Louis, MO
