Just over a
year ago today, I took on a challenge proposed by One Fair Wage to all
Members of Congress and worked as a restaurant server for an hour in
California.
There are pictures at the end of this email, but please read the rest of
this message first.
Working alongside restaurant servers and other service workers, even just
for an hour, proved what many of us already know: Service workers are
skilled workers and they deserve a livable wage. Period.
[ [link removed] ]That’s why I’m leading the fight in Congress to increase the minimum
wage to at least $15/hr. If you support this fight, please chip in
whatever amount you can afford today.
All
workers deserve to be able to provide for their families without needing a
second job or cutting corners on necessities. And it’s wrong that it’s
been over 13 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.
When we demand a $15/hr wage, we're not asking for charity. We’re not
asking for philanthropy. We’re asking for justice.
Workers should be paid the value of their work and their time. And it’s a
total failure of the market that 32 million workers aren’t getting the
raise they desperately need, while inflation and costs skyrocket.
[ [link removed] ]That’s why I’m fighting tooth and nail for a $15/hr minimum wage. If
you support this fight, if you support these frontline workers, if you
support this fight for justice, please chip in $3 or
whatever you can afford today.

Thank you for reading through this. Now, below are the pictures I promised
from my time as a server last April.
