Raise the minimum wage

Essential workers are the driving force behind our nation’s survival during the covid-19 pandemic. They have put their personal safety on the line to keep us fed, safe and sheltered. And we have failed to properly repay their dedication. These American heroes deserve a raise for their hard work, and I am writing to demand that the Congress pass legislation to immediately raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. Failing to stand up for the workers is an abdication of your duty as an elected representative. But stand up for us, and we’ll stand up for you.
