| No one should be living in poverty.
Across the country, Americans are still making a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
That's not enough to live on — and Black and Hispanic workers are especially feeling the burden.
But there's a glimmer of hope: Kirsten Gillibrand, Bernie Sanders, Mark Kelly, Cory Booker and other Democratic leaders just introduced a bill that would finally increase the federal minimum wage to $17 an hour. It's called the Raise the Wage Act.
We're polling our most engaged supporters in your area to gather data on support for raising the minimum wage. Will you respond before midnight? Please let us know,
Team Gillibrand |
