"Voters don't want to hear excuses about processes and parliamentarians." Exactly. We're not done. We say when it's over, and it ain't over.

Fight For 15
@fightfor15
BREAKING: Following the Senate Parliamentarian’s ruling that raising the minimum wage to $15 does not meet requirements for the reconciliation process, Houston McDonald’s worker and #FightFor15 and a Union leader Maribel Cornejo released the following statement. #RaiseTheWage
Essential workers like me have put our lives on the line during this pandemic. For a year now, we’ve shown up to work to keep our communities fed, clean or cared for, all for too little pay. We need a minimum wage of at least $15 an hour to put food on the table tonight, make rent next month and recover from the pandemic over the next few years. We will not be deterred by an archaic Senate process that throughout history has been used to delay or deny progress for Black and brown communities while allowing multi-trillion-dollar tax cuts for corporations. We know that increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour would give 32 million workers a raise, save taxpayers billions of dollars of spending on public assistance programs, give workers more money to put back into local businesses and revitalize the economy.
