We deserve to live with dignity and respect. Making a living wage is a big part of that.
Two-fifths (40 percent) of African Americans and one-third (34 percent) of Latinos would get a raise if the federal minimum wage were increased to $15

We can't take care of our families on poverty wages. In one of the richest countries on earth, we should all be making living wages. Tell Congress we need $15 bit.ly/2FBh0ZL #Fightfor15

Hey #TIMESUP, This movement is GREAT but VA needs some help to be the 38th state to ratify the ERA. This could happen NOW with a little #STARPOWER. We passed the Senate & are stuck in committee in the House. Equality for the country rests in the hands of 2 guys :( Please dm us.

A $15 minimum wage was once considered "radical" – but working people organized, and today, members of Congress led by @SenSanders reintroduced the Federal #RaiseTheWage Act, which would mean raises in pay for more than 41 million of us nationwide. Together, we will win.

All these companies are innovating their way into the future but paying us like it’s 1985

Yesterday, we called on Eddie Lampert to set up a financial hardship fund to support the families impacted by the Sears & Kmart bankruptcy. Nearly 90,000 employees have already been laid off since last year or are facing losing our jobs this year. cbsnews.com/news/sears-eddie…

More than 5 million workers will have an increase in their paychecks in 2019, thanks to minimum wage increases in over 20 states. Is your state one of them? on.epi.org/2F4eLhC

We shouldn’t be scraping to pay bills and keep food on the table. We formed a union and took action to get airport executives to listen to us, and I believe it paid off." -Gladys Hernandez, PDX passenger service assistant who just won $15 bit.ly/2T2dtHD #FightFor15

The unemployment rate doesn’t take into account those of us stuck in part-time jobs unable to find full-time work. We’re paid low wages & forced to live on government assistance. This is not a thriving economy. We want to hear from you: How are YOU surviving in this economy?

Walmart is implementing a new system that is supposed to prepare stores to be ready to serve customers while giving associates more predictable and flexible scheduling options. news.walmart.com/2018/11/13/…

It's #CyberMonday2018 and the @OURWmt carol singers have entered the building! Don't forget to support the #StopWalmartAct. This is the bill co-sponsored by Senator Sanders and Congressman @RoKhanna. Corporations must not be able to buy back their own stock unless they pay $15ph

We shouldn’t have to regularly choose between paying rent, getting medicine or buying food to eat. It’s time for Walmart to publicly commit to raising the minimum wage to $15/hr and real raises for long-time associates. Sign our petition now united4respect.org/15_and_fu…

Today retail companies like @Walmart and @amazon make BILLIONS of dollars in #CyberMonday sales. Whose work makes all of that money?? The workers. We deserve a living wage. So today we are calling on Walmart to DELIVER A LIVING WAGE. #RiseUpRetail
