@oxfamamerica: Did you know that the federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009, the longest stretch without an increase since the federal wage floor was created?   That means the lowest-paid workers have gone 17 years without a raise from Congress, while the cost of food, rent, transportation, and health care have continued to climb.   Oxfam breaks down why the minimum wage should be raised, how a higher wage floor would help workers and families, and why raising the minimum wage is not only good for the economy, but for fighting inequality.   Raising the minimum wage is a policy choice that can help workers and communities thrive. Tell your governor to raise wages, strengthen worker protections, and support working families today in our bio.
