SIGN THE PETITION NOW: Demand Congress prioritize raising wages for everyday people!

Recently, The New York Times editorial board argued that people in this country need higher wages. We agree! Since 1970, wages haven’t kept pace with rising productivity. If income distributions remained consistent at 1975 levels, the typical working American would be earning $42,000 more every year.

For too long, the wealthiest among us have captured most of the wealth, which never trickles down to everyday people. That’s why we are demanding Congress do everything in its power to raise wages, starting with increasing the minimum wage, empowering collective bargaining rights, and taxing the rich. But this petition closes at midnight tonight, and we’re falling 590 signatures short of our goal!
