Urge Your Governor: Raise Wages and Fight for Working Families

Rising costs, stagnant wages, and growing inequality under the Trump administration are making it harder than ever for working families to get ahead. Meanwhile, Congress has failed to raise the minimum wage for 17 years, leaving workers behind in an economy that favors the ultra-wealthy few. Women, communities of color, and single parents often bear the greatest burden of these unequal policies. 

But there is reason for hope. Across the country, states are raising wages, expanding paid leave, strengthening workplace protections, and supporting workers' rights. Oxfam's Best States to Work Index highlights where states are stepping up for workers and where further action is needed.  

Your governor has the power to help shape policies that affect workers in your state. Take a minute to urge them to put workers first. Enter your information here, and we'll provide a suggested message to send your governor tailored to your state's ranking in Oxfam's index.
