John,
Trump and MAGA Republicans keep handing power to the same corporate interests driving the affordability crisis. They fight to keep wages low, block paid leave, attack unions, and call it “freedom” while families drown in rent, child care, and medical bills.
The way out is not more corporate tax cuts. The way out is to shift power back to working people with laws that raise pay, guarantee time to care, and protect the right to organize. Democrats finally have room to deliver, and public pressure is real even inside the MAGA base. People want better wages and real family time.
Working people need more than temporary relief. They need Congress to move a real worker-first agenda built around the Raise the Wage Act of 2025, the Protected Time Off Act, the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Act, and the PRO Act.
Together, these bills deliver the structural change families have been demanding for years:
-
Raise the federal minimum wage to $17 by 2030 and end the subminimum wage for tipped workers and workers with disabilities.
-
Guarantee paid leave so every worker can care for a sick child, aging parent, or newborn without risking their income.
-
Extend long-denied labor protections to domestic workers, including safeguards against wage theft and discrimination.
-
Strengthen the freedom to form a union, increase penalties on lawbreaking employers, and stop the union-busting tactics that keep wages flat while CEO profits climb.
Tell Congress to pass a worker-first package now and show them that working people are united, organized, and ready to demand the higher wages, paid leave, and union rights our communities deserve.
People want a government that stands with workers, not union-busting consultants. That means pushing forward with a pro-worker package without apology and forcing Republicans to decide whose side they are on.
This is the governing test of our time. Pass laws that raise wages and give people time to care, or keep protecting a status quo that squeezes families while CEOs cash out. There is no middle ground. The coalition that wins in 2026 and 2028 will be the one that delivers for workers today.
Congress hears from corporate lobbyists every hour. They need to hear from you. Help us flood their office with one demand to pass a pro-worker package that raises wages, guarantees paid leave, and protects unions.
Send your message to your Senators and Representative today: Pass the Raise the Wage Act of 2025, the Protected Time Off Act, the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Act, and the PRO Act.
Together, we will raise wages, expand care, and put power in the hands of working people.
