While Corporate America is making record profits, many workers can barely afford basic necessities. Join our grassroots campaign for a $15/hr minimum wage.

At the Embassy Suites Hotel in with UNITE HERE! Local 8 workers who are confronting management, demanding a decent contract. They're tired of being nickel-and-dimed by the Hilton corp. on wages, healthcare, paid time off, and respect on the job. They're fired up, and taking no more!

The minimum wage is $11+ in New York State. Across the border in Pennsylvania, it's still just $7.25. Yet so far, there has been no evidence of significant job loss, even in border counties. Really nice deep-dive from Jeanna Smialek: nytimes.com/2019/11/13/bus…

National Employment Law Project played a significant supportive role (especially Laura Huizar) in the $15 campaign in Mpls. As did Ginger Jentzen from $15Now, who led much of this fight! Congratulations to all!

Every worker, no matter their race, job, or gender, deserves prosperity. Thanks to all of the organizations and front line fighters who made this happen, you are amazing! CTUL SEIU Local 26 15 Now Minnesota #FightFor15 strib.mn/2tII8m4

The majority of low-wage workers in America today are women and people of color. When we fight to double the minimum wage to a $15 living wage, we are fighting to advance racial, gender, and economic justice.

I was on @HillTVLive with Krystal Ball about how a fighting movement with a socialist strategy & credible ballot initiative threat - not appealing to Democratic politicians - won Seattle's $15 min wage. Wining a federal $15 will need a fighting movement! youtu.be/WlHIJHlPXPs

Black restaurant workers report being tipped less than others in retaliation for enforcing social distancing rules, according to new ⁦One Fair Wage⁩ survey. Their earnings also dropped during the pandemic while White earnings went up slightly. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…

"The subminimum wage for tipped workers isn’t simply born of racial injustice; it continues to perpetuate both race and gender inequity today." -Michelle Alexander Congress must pass the #RaisetheWage Act and #1FairWage for all! nytimes.com/2021/02/05/opi…

The 32 million workers who would benefit from the #RaiseTheWage Act need and are demanding $15 and #1FairWage, not excuses about a procedural rule that's rooted in white supremacy. This is a racial justice issue. Tell your senators to pass $15! 888-639-5155

NELP is in agreement with Bernie Sanders and in solidarity with workers across the country leading the #FightFor15, a racial and gender justice issue! Congress must deliver and we'll be there for each and every vote until this much-needed bill passes! #RaiseTheWage

#AmazonUnionBusting spent what’ll likely amount to millions in consulting fees & organized an ongoing barrage of captive-audience meetings against the union. 77% of Americans support the Bessemer drive. Amazon is terrified. We need to organize & hit Amazon harder. #UnionizeAmazon
