This is interesting. Bowman is one of the more progressive Democrats and he is holding a hearing on ending subminimum wage labor for disabled people and framing it in progressive language

Congressman Jamaal Bowman

Everyone deserves a living wage. Join me in @EdLaborCmte for a hearing on “Phasing out Subminimum Wages: Supporting the Transition to Competitive Integrated Employment for Workers with Disabilities." Tune in here: bit.ly/3zlDGWF

In related (and surprising news). Rep. Cawthorn made a statement in favor of phasing out 14c/subminimum wage at today's hearing. If you are from NC (and even if you are not), please call his office to thank him!
