WATCH: Heather McGhee says that the difference in attitude over climate change policy is a question of “urgency” #MTP #IfItsSunday
@hmcghee: “We can’t say ‘it’s too aspirational.’ It’s the planet.”

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.

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.

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

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

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

This #CyberMonday we are calling for a livable wage for ALL @Walmart associates. Alice Walton, pay a living wage and quit running from your responsibility to associates! #RiseUpRetail

UPDATE: Walmart associates just delivered a box with a message that we need $15/hr to Alice Walton's penthouse security.
Alice is the heiress of the Walmart empire with a net worth of $47 billion. Walmart can afford to pay living wages.

Toys R Us workers won $20 million, but they're still fighting for over $55 million. This isn't over until the workers say it's over. #BlackFriday follow @riseupretail for updates
This Black Friday, ask #VornadoRealty+others to pay Toys R Us employees the severance they were promised.
#ToysRUs workers in NY-14 &across the country worked for decades w/ that promise.
Once private equity took over, they fired 38,000 workers w/ no pay. We can fight back.
