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.
Sign our petition to demand Congress raise the minimum wage, now >>>

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!
