@POTUS & @VP are using excuses about arcane rules in the Senate as an excuse to not raise wages for millions of Americans. #MinimumWage #FightFor15 #RaiseTheWage #WealthTax An unelected Parlimentarian's decision shouldn't block raising wages. #nomoreexcuses

@MzCata1

#RaiseTheWage NOW! Stop the excuses!! If someone works 40 hours a week, they need to live out of poverty level!

@KatharineLandf1

Given the importance of the $15/hour wage (hardly generous, but half as unbearable as $7.25), every social, economic, and racial justice org should pause what they are doing for a moment and fight for this #RaiseTheWage #FightFor15

@ny_indivisible

@krystalball @davidsirota @joebiden cares more about getting Neera approved than getting 15 bucks an hour? Outrageous. @WHCOS

@SenSchumer #RaiseTheWage #abolishthefilibuster if you can’t get @Sen_JoeManchin to act like a democrat then efforts must be focused on getting him replaced with a person who will not stand in the way of progress. The people want 15.00 the dems have to deliver!

#RaiseTheWage NOW!!

@JrHollis60

@NicholsUprising It ABSOLUTELY IS! #RaiseTheWage

@WarrenRifkin

Democrats should include the 15 dollar minimum wage by 2025 and push the overtime threshold to 2.5 times the minimum wage by 2028 in the defense bill.

We’re tied for dead last. Lowest worker pay in America.

@andrewcwills

I firmly believe the $1,400 per person will be critical to the economic recovery, but Americans need a living wage. #RaiseTheWage

@Detroit_15

Our politicians are playing political games with our lives. Call your Senators and tell them to commit to a $15/hr minimum wage, and not to mess around: 888-639-5155 #RaiseTheWage #Fightfor15

@SSWorks

Thank you to the 219 Democrats who voted to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour as part of the COVID relief bill.

It's long past time to #RaiseTheWage.

#FightFor15

@ConcioP

Totally right @JamaalBowmanNY
#RaiseTheWage

@Garciaparasoco

#donkillitbernie @SenSanders we need a 15$ minimum wage because there are school districts that don’t pay cafeteria workers,custodians, staff & education support personnel enough to live off, they pay starving wages!! #FightFor15 #RaiseTheWage #MinimumWage #Unpaid

@bluetooter

@BernieSanders @SenSanders @SenSchumer @SenWarren so if you want to keep minimum wage of $15 using budget reconciliation, then you have to pay or help pay for it! Tax credit, offsets, add some federal expenditure to justify it in the bill. #MinimumWage #FightFor15 #RaiseTheWage

@standup_kc

We can’t take it anymore. $7.25/hr doesn’t cover the bills. It doesn’t put food on the table. It doesn’t allow us to live with basic dignity. $15/hr minimum wage for everyone. #Fightfor15 #RaisetheWage

@KDavisGayFriend

If that $1.5 trillion dollar fighter jet doesn't work, why isn't the Pentagon demanding a refund from the company that built it? That's more money for #Covid_19 relief and infrastructure.

@GovernorTomWolf #RaiseTheWage, it is going to happen, it already has in some state's and with some major corporations... #manchin has a problem with it...

@Denniskerg

#RaiseTheWage

@GovernorTomWolf

All of our neighboring states have raised their minimum wages multiple times since 2009.

It's time for Pennsylvania to step up and do right by our essential workers.

Tell your legislators it's time to #RaiseTheWage in PA: .

@SenWarren 'Cause @JoeBiden really has a cage with Larry Summers 🙄 Haven't you made an ass of yourself enough for one career, Liz? Shouldn't you be out trying to misappropriate a tribe or something? #ffs #BlueMAGA #KHive #ForceTheVote #RaiseTheWage

@GeorgeJ51792624 @archerology @davidsirota @mehdirhasan @KamalaHarris @RoKhanna @AOC @Ilhan @RepBowman @RepJayapal @RepRashida Why are @POTUS @JoeBiden and @VP @KamalaHarris fighting so hard for #NeeraTanden then? 🤔 #FightFor15 instead. #RaiseTheWage no excuses!

@ForBoomers

@krabbejoanne @davidsirota @KamalaHarris @RoKhanna @AOC @Ilhan @RepBowman @RepJayapal @RepRashida But @potus @joebiden doesn’t have 50 votes for #NeeraTanden either, yet he’s fighting for her nomination to OMB like it’s the Alamo. No excuses! #FightFor15 #RaiseTheWage

@i_AmMyBrand

Perhaps we can give @SenJohnThune $6/hour instead of his Senate Salary. He is opposing $15 min wage, says he earned $6 as a kid—that's $24 with inflation #RaiseTheWage

@ForBoomers

@lynnhailey1 @davidsirota @KamalaHarris @RoKhanna @AOC @Ilhan @RepBowman @RepJayapal @RepRashida What feud? The #parliamentarian gave an advisory opinion which @VP @KamalaHarris can overrule on behalf of millions of Americans who need a raise. #FightFor15 #RaiseTheWage

@_Michelangelo__

$15 minimum wage my ass! Make it $20 as a minimum for large corporations! #RaiseTheWage

@rizz_chi

@GrabienMedia @MariaBartiromo $7.25 is bread crumbs. NO-ONE can live & survive off of that.

The cost of living goes up *every year* and so should workers wages!

*except 2016-2020* Miss him yet?

#RaiseTheWage

@epolitcsjunkie

we need at least a $15 min wage. not $10 not $11 not $13. we know that once it gets raised once it’ll be another decade b4 it gets raised again & we can’t be stuck in the basement for a decade. $15 is the floor not the ceiling. #RaiseTheWage #AbolishTheFilibuster

@LenaSimet

NEW @hrw analysis shows millions of low-income households in the US going hungry &on the brink of losing their home, while billionaire wealth leaped. The #AmericanRescuePlan shld provide needed support &lay the foundation for a just recovery #RaiseTheWage

@JamaalBowmanNY

If you’re going to oppose raising the minimum wage from a poverty wage to a living wage, you need to go on the congressional record with that decision.

The people need to know who’s with them and who’s not.

@BernieSanders

At a time when millions of workers are earning starvation wages, when the minimum wage has not been raised by Congress since 2007 and stands at a pathetic $7.25 an hour, it is time to raise the minimum wage to a living wage.

@SenSanders

This week, as part of the reconciliation bill, I will be offering an amendment to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

@WalkerBragman

Biden admin on getting 50 votes to confirm Neera Tanden:

“We’re fighting our guts out!”

Biden admin on getting 50 votes to pass $15 minimum wage:

“The president and the Vice President both respect the history of the Senate...and that’s not an action we intend to take.”

@AlexPadilla4CA

I agree with Bernie, US taxpayers are sick of subsidizing some of the richest corporations in the world who choose to pay their employees next to nothing. #FightFor15
