Help Raise the Minimum Wage
The prices of our everyday necessities like gas, electricity, housing, and food have all been on the rise – but the federal minimum wage hasn’t. It’s been stuck at $5.15 an hour for the last nine years.
Hard working Americans deserve better! Please help give these workers a much needed boost. Sign on to co-sponsor the Fair Minimum Wage Act to raise the federal minimum wage to $7.25.

Subject: Help Raise the Minimum Wage
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
Count me in! I want to be a citizen co-sponsor of the federal bill to increase the minimum wage.
Hard-working Americans have gone too long without a raise. When minimum-wage workers only make $5.15 an hour, it is incredibly difficult to make ends meet, especially when faced with rising costs of gas, food, housing, and electricity.
Congress should pass the Federal Minimum Wage Act to help out low-wage workers.
