ACT
Ask the Senate to lift millions out of poverty by raising the minimum wage.

The Raise the Wage Act ensures all workers are paid at least $15 an hour. Tell your Senators: co-sponsor the Raise the Wage Act!

For over a decade, the federal minimum wage has been frozen at $7.25 an hour. And, millions of tipped workers like restaurant servers, and workers with disabilities, can be paid a subminimum wage.  In 2019, the Raise the Wage Act passed the House, but stalled in the Senate. It’s crucial that your Senators hear from you.

Ask President Biden to end the federal death penalty.
