Tell Congress: It’s Time to Raise the Wage

Workers across the U.S. are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living, while the super-rich just keep getting richer.

Over the last year, CEO pay has grown more than 21 times faster than workers’ wages, and the real value of the minimum wage has fallen over 20% since 2019—leaving millions of workers further behind. This gap isn’t inevitable; it’s the result of policy choices that favor extreme wealth over working people.

In honor of International Workers’ Day this month, people around the world are demanding dignity, fairness, and living wages. In the United States, that means Congress must act.

Add your name today to demand action. Tell your members of Congress to raise the minimum wage and stand with workers—not billionaires and big corporations.

Message to Congress

I urge you to stand with working people and support raising the federal minimum wage. CEO pay is skyrocketing while the value of the minimum wage has fallen by more than 20% since 2019, leaving workers struggling to keep up. Please act to ensure work pays and wages keep pace with the cost of living.
