    Scripture tells us that in the power of the tongue is life and death. Trump is clearly guilty of speaking into existence the violent & deadly insurrection that occurred on . The Senate must vote to convict & disqualify him from ever holding public office again.

    Let's not forget it was a woman from Harlan County, Kentucky, Florence Patton Reece, who wrote the song "Which Side Are You On?" in the 1930s. When we push for a living wage, we stand on their shoulders.

    For us, racism is not just a Black-white issue. Systemic racism is never just about prisons and police reform. It's about looking at the way throughout the system that racial disparities play and making sure in every policy that there is a consideration.

    B/c federal poverty numbers are based on an outdated measure, the 1.3 million ppl the CBO says would be lifted out of poverty by $15/hr is FAR lower than reality. This would lift tens of millions of low-wealth workers & stimulate the economy by increasing their capacity to spend.

    We in the have been pushing w/ to ensure that a $15/hr minimum wage is fully part of this COVID relief bill.

    BIG NEWS: the Progressive Caucus has secured the inclusion of a $15 minimum wage in the House's pandemic reconciliation package. This has been a leading priority for our caucus and would give 27 million (!) low-wage workers a raise.

    In fact, : Raising the federal minimum wage to $15/hr will lift wages for 33+ MILLION workers. (The fed poverty measurement needs to be updated too!)

    Raising the minimum wage to $15 would lift 900,000 out of poverty. It’s time!

    When combined with healthcare, infrastructure investment, and affordable housing, it can reconstruct an economy that works for all of us. The question isn’t how much it will cost, but what it costs us not to.

    The CBO report makes clear that raising the minimum wage to $15/hr is key to lifting people out of poverty & the COVID recession.
