Our minimum wage tour (photos enclosed)

Sisters and Brothers - Thank you very much for your support in enabling our campaign to hold great rallies across the South to demand that the starvation minimum wage of $7.25 per hour be raised to a living wage of $17 per hour. The rallies were held in Durham, NC, Nashville, TN, and Charlesto…

Why I voted NO on the debt ceiling deal

Sisters and Brothers - Let’s be clear. The original debt ceiling legislation that Republicans passed in the House would have, over a 10-year period, decimated the already inadequate social safety net of our country and made savage cuts to programs that working families, the children, the sick, …

I am writing to ask you to contribute $2.70 before I hit the road this week for a minimum wage tour. It's very important that we continue organizing our movement nationwide. Any amount you can give will make a difference. Thanks. - B

Sisters and Brothers - Washington DC, with its lobbyists, campaign contributors, and powerful special interests, is the last place in the world to know what’s going on in the lives of working families or to bring about the structural reforms our society needs. If we want to bring about real cha…

No. Now is not the time to cave in to GOP hostage takers on the debt ceiling. Now is the time for President Biden to use the 14th Amendment to prevent an economic catastrophe and protect programs for working people. Add your name to my petition if you agree.

Sisters and Brothers - I thought it was important for readers of Fox News to get a different perspective on the debt ceiling crisis from what they often receive. Yes. There are alternatives to the right-wing approach of slashing desperately needed programs for the elderly, the children, the sic…

This is a long email about the debt ceiling, and why I am calling on President Biden to exercise his authority under the 14th Amendment to protect crucial programs for working families and prevent a global economic catastrophe. Please add your name to join me in this effort.

Dear Sisters and Brothers - No doubt you are hearing a lot of discussion about the national debt ceiling crisis. What’s going on? Well, it appears that extreme right-wing Republicans are not only prepared to undermine American democracy by refusing to accept election results, but now they are …

I'm introducing Medicare for All legislation this week, and today I am asking you to add your name to my petition to show that our movement is united on this issue. This is important. Thanks. - B

Sisters and Brothers - The function of a rational and humane health care system is to provide quality care for all as a human right. Yet in America today, our health care system is designed to make tens of billions of dollars every year for the insurance companies and the drug companies while …

Moving to a 32-hour work week with no loss of pay is not a radical idea. Add your name if you agree.

Sisters and Brothers - At a time of extraordinary technological changes and major increases in worker productivity, we must make sure that all of our people are benefitting – not just those at the top. Yet in America today, working people are working longer hours for lower wages while the billi…

I'm writing to ask you to read my op-ed in the Guardian and, if you can afford it, to contribute toward our movement's efforts to fight for an agenda that works for all of our people, not just the 1%. It's very important that we're in this together. Thanks. - B

Sisters and Brothers - At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, Congress must finally have the courage to stand up for working families. One of the ways we can do that is by raising the minimum wage to a living wage. That's what I discuss in an op-ed published by the Guardian today, a…

Two HUGE victories for our movement

Silicon Valley Bank

Friends - When we talk about corporate greed in this country, there is perhaps no better example than the greed of the pharmaceutical industry exhibited by the outrageously high prices that Americans pay for prescription drugs. In America today, millions of people are making the unacceptable c…
