Team,
We hope you were able to catch our previous email. Congress hasn't raised
the federal minimum wage in 10 years. And struggling Americans are fed up
with working 40-60 hours a week for $7.25 an hour.
In short — it’s time for real change.

Subject: Demand Congress raise the minimum wage!
Team,
Republicans in Congress love scaring the American people with right-wing
propaganda and misleading data, especially when it comes to the minimum
wage.
“Small businesses will be destroyed.”
“We’ll see job losses.”
“Wages are high enough.”
False. False. And false, again. $15 an hour will raise nearly a million
Americans out of poverty. It will boost the economy — more money to spend
in our communities generates economic growth — and even reduce employer
turnover while helping them save money.
Above all, 27 million people will get a raise — 70% of them being women.

The good news is that as we speak, Nancy Pelosi and Democrats in Congress
are working to include a $15 minimum wage hike in Biden’s $1.9 trillion
relief package.
But Republicans are pushing back. Hard. Unless we make our voices heard
right now, we’ll risk losing another shot at lifting struggling Americans
out of the current $7.25 minimum wage purgatory. No more waiting!
