Let this sink in, team: 141 days ago, the House voted to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour. That bill is collecting dust on Mitch McConnell’s desk.
Once again, the Senate GOP is going out of its way to keep millions of Americans in poverty.
Will you chip in $15 or more -- what the minimum wage should be -- to my campaign so I can stay in Congress to keep pushing for workers’ rights?

The Raise the Wage Act would increase pay for up to 27 million working people. More than 1 million American households would be lifted out of poverty. We could build an economy that works for everyone -- not just the wealthy few.
Another successful House bill I’ve worked on -- and McConnell has ignored -- is the Paycheck Fairness Act. It would finally secure equal pay for equal work. If the Senate moved, we could make pay disparity a thing of the past.
I’m standing with workers across the country as they demand fair wages, benefits, and the right to organize. Will you make sure I can still do that as a member of Congress by chipping in $15 or more to my campaign?
If we keep speaking truth to power together, we’ll see the democratic workplaces that working people deserve.
