Sign the petition: Raise the wage to $15 by ending the filibuster!

Unless we speak out, Congress may not step up and raise the wage for millions of Americans who urgently need it.

Tell President Biden and Congress: "We cannot tell the American people they won't get a raise to a minimum of $15 an hour just because of a Senate parliamentarian's ruling. We urge you to tell Senators to end the filibuster so that Congress can raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour!" ADD YOUR NAME Congress has not raised the minimum wage in more than a decade. Yet the cost of housing, transportation, food, and clothing has soared. Amidst the worst economic crisis in a century, families need a higher minimum wage. Now. In cities and states that have raised the minimum wage to $15 or higher, the results have been positive. More jobs, more income, more economic security. But many states, led by right-wingers, still refuse to raise their wage above the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour. Democrats could use their control of Congress and the White House to raise the minimum wage to $15. But the Senate parliamentarian ruled it can't be done by reconciliation. And the filibuster means they'd have to find 10 Republican votes for a $15 minimum wage, which is very unlikely. Unless we speak out, Congress may not step up and raise the wage for millions of Americans who urgently need it. Senators must end the filibuster so Congress can finally raise the wage to $15!
