Petition: Protect Workers’ Rights and Raise Wages 

While billionaires keep getting richer, working people in the U.S. are struggling to make ends meet under policies rigged against them.

The U.S. federal minimum wage has not budged in 16 years, and even the highest state minimum wage is not enough to support a family. 
 
Millions of families in the U.S. find themselves trapped in cycles of working poverty due to gaps in wages, worker protections, and rights to organize—policies that vary tremendously depending on where you live and what your job is. Women, communities of color, and single parents feel the impacts of these unequal policies the most.

Lawmakers must take bold action to prioritize people over billionaire wealth. As the Trump administration openly favors the ultra-rich, the fight for fair wages, paid family and medical leave, the right to organize, and real worker protections has never been more urgent.

Add your name to Oxfam’s petition to urge Congress to fight for workers’ rights. It’s time to pass policies that put workers and their families first. 

Sign the petition to urge Congress to fight for workers' rights

I urge you to fight for workers’ rights by supporting policies that grant all workers the respect, protection, and dignity they deserve:

  • Raise Wages: Policymakers must raise the minimum wage. Subminimum tipped wages should be abolished and minimum wage exclusions of certain workers must end.
  • Strengthen Worker Protections: We need stronger protections for all workers, including paid family and medical leave, strengthened equal pay laws, paid pumping breaks, stronger child labor laws, and protections for domestic workers.
  • Protect Rights to Organize: The federal government must protect and expand workers’ rights to organize and collectively bargain and extend organizing rights to excluded workers.

Please join Oxfam’s call to action by passing federal labor protections that would improve the lives of workers and enable them to care for their families.
