For years, workers across the country and across industries have bravely stood up to demand better. Their organizing and actions for $15 an hour won widespread support, with 2 in 3 Americans across the political spectrum in support of a raise. In response, the U.S. House passed the Raise the Wage Act of 2019 that would have increased wages to $15 for more than a fifthquarter of all U.S. workers, but the Republican-controlled Senate refused to take up the bill. As the pandemic makes economic uncertainty more dire across the country, and our essential healthcare, food-service, and retail workers continue to struggle, we must take bold action NOW. 1 https://www.epi.org/publication/raising-the-federal-minimum-wage-to-15-by-2024-would-lift-pay-for-nearly-40-million-workers/ 2 https://www.brookings.edu/research/the-covid-19-hazard-continues-but-the-hazard-pay-does-not-why-americas-frontline-workers-need-a-raise/ 3 https://www.nelp.org/wp-content/uploads/Policy-Brief-15-Minimum-Wage-Women-Workers-of-Color.pdf https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/pass-a-15-minimum-wage-in-the-first-100-days
