Join the Fight for an Economy that Works for Everyone
We need our elected leaders to:
- Restore the minimum wage.
- Support the right to organize.
- Sign an executive action requiring private businesses contracting with the government pay a living wage.

Wages have been stagnant for a generation, and the fastest growing jobs in our economy are also the lowest paid. Fast food, retail, home health, child care and security jobs are growing, but they don’t pay enough to cover basic necessities like food, clothing and rent. It doesn’t have to be this way.
This summer, Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus will travel across the country to highlight the faces of income inequality. Progressive leaders will join low-wage workers in protests, rallies, strikes and forums across the country to call attention to income inequality in America.
During the Raise Up America campaign, Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus will partner with fast food workers in New York City, retail sales clerks in Chicago, military uniform makers in Tennessee and other low-wage workers nationwide to demand solutions that put more money into the pockets of working people.
Because big, profitable employers like McDonald’s and Walmart must learn that better wages for their workers isn’t just the right thing to do, it also means millions of families will have more money to spend at their stores and raise up the entire economy.
The needs of low-wage workers have been ignored for far too long.
Sign up to join the fight.
