Minimum Wage: Give the whole country a raise!
In November, Missourians overwhelmingly approved an increase in the state’s minimum wage. Illinois’ minimum wage is already well above the federal minimum wage of $5.15 per hour. Today we can help be sure ALL the workers in our country can get the raise we’ve won in our states.
The new Congress has just been sworn in - and they have promised to make raising the minimum wage one of their first priorities. The House will vote as soon as next Wednesday. Please take action today and tell Congress to increase the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour with no anti-worker amendments or tax breaks for the wealthy.
