John,

Corporations and CEOs don't raise our wages – but they're still raising prices. Their greed knows no bounds.

They're jacking up prices despite raking in record profits while throwing workers under the bus. Hold greedy corporations accountable now >>

Corporations say that the demand for higher wages is driving prices up. We call BS. Here's why:

• Starbucks continues to fight workers' efforts to unionize and their demand for higher wages and better benefits, but last year shelled out $5.3 million to pay their top lawyer.
• Amazon recently announced they were going to raise the price of Prime, while buying back $10 billion in stock to juice their profits. 
• Oil companies are hiking the price of gas, using the war in Ukraine as an excuse for their price gouging. 
• McDonald's announced they were raising prices while quietly resuming their $15 billion stock buyback program.  

Oh, and the federal minimum wage? Still $7.25. According to a recent Oxfam report, the average CEO in the US made almost $14 million last year, while the average minimum wage worker made a little more than $15,000 – that’s a gap of 924 to 1.

Executives at these corporations are still getting paid millions. They're charging customers more to line their own pockets while ignoring workers.

When prices go up, it's workers like me who suffer the most. My paycheck doesn't go as far when I'm buying groceries. A couple gallons of gas is more than my hourly wage. And still, corporations are trying to blame us for higher prices, just because we dared to ask for a living wage.

We deserve better: and that starts with $15/hr, union rights, and an end to corporate greed. Sign now >>

In solidarity,
