It is unconscionable that eight Senate Democrats would tell millions of essential workers earning poverty wages that they are ‘heroes’ but don’t deserve a $15 minimum wage. People across the country and across the political spectrum support policies like a $15 minimum wage. It’s even passed as statewide ballot measures in red states. Sens. Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Tom Carper, Maggie Hassan, Jon Tester, Jeanne Shaheen, Angus King, and Chris Coons did not represent the interests of the working people in this country.

If the political establishment wants to keep protecting its corporate donors, we will continue pushing for change with a movement of diverse working-class progressives like AOC, Jamaal Bowman, and Cori Bush.

Can you sign our petition to keep the pressure on Democrats to raise the minimum wage to $15? Democrats in the Senate need to hear just how popular this policy is.
