People all over the country are working 2 jobs and still can’t make ends meet.
Everything keeps going up: rent, groceries, childcare, medicine… a paycheck from a minimum wage job of $7.25/hr doesn’t cover basic expenses.
And while millions struggle to survive a pandemic on poverty wages, corporations are raking in record profits. Congress has a chance to give raises to nearly 40 million working people -- but they’ll only do it if WE demand action.
Add your name to demand that Congress takes urgent action to raise the federal minimum wage to $15/hr.
When lines at the food bank stretch for blocks, but corporations like Amazon make billions during a pandemic -- it’s clear our system isn’t working.
Raising the minimum wage to $15/hr won’t fix everything, but it’s a key part of making sure we can better provide for our families.
We’ve waited too long for a raise that would bring us relief.
Tell Congress that we need $15/hr NOW >>
Working families need $15/hr. Raising the minimum wage will help narrow racial and gender pay gaps, and finally give essential workers the chance to get closer to earning a living wage.
Let’s get to $15.
We really appreciate your participation in this petition, as we expand our efforts to identify every Democratic voter in the US to make sure they vote for Democrats in every election.
