Millions of hardworking people across the United States are struggling to make ends meet. From the grocery till, to the gas pump, to putting a roof over their family's heads,
workers are finding it harder and harder to afford to simply live.Minimum-wage workers in 22 states are getting a
long-overdue raise in 2024, and this change will make a huge difference in their lives. But here's the problem:
In 20 states, the federal minimum wage will remain at a measly $7.25 an hour, unchanged since 2009, while the cost of living has skyrocketed.That's why we're asking you to join us in demanding change.
Sign this petition to support the Raise the Wage Act of 2023, which aims to gradually increase the federal minimum wage to $17 an hour by 2028. Imagine trying to provide for your family, pay rent, and buy groceries on just $7.25 an hour, especially with prices going up and up.
We are being crushed by rising inflation rates. Costs ballooned by a
whopping 8% in 2022, and remained well above a comfortable rate in 2023.
It's an impossible situation that is affecting millions -- many of whom are women, Black, and Hispanic. They deserve better. Their families deserve better.This is our chance to make a real impact on the lives of millions of Americans who are working hard but still struggling to get by.
No one should feel like they can't afford to meet their most basic needs. Together, we must create a fairer and more just society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Sign the petition today and let's raise the federal minimum wage for a better future for all!
