The minimum wage has not been raised in over a decade, John. This is the longest period in U.S. history without an increase — anyone paid today the federal minimum wage of $7.25 is earning 21% less than their 2009 counterpart.

$15 an hour is the minimum amount a worker can earn to cover basic living costs anywhere in the U.S. — more than double the current federal minimum wage. We must support the workers who demand their right to fair pay. Will you join us in telling Congress to raise the minimum wage by signing our petition now?
