Why don't the Poor People's Campaign get it $15.00 an hour is not enough in some states like California after you pay your bills.Before Covid-19 my niece couldn't find a place to rent even working 2 jobs and now because of Covid-19 my niece and her 2 daughters are at severe risk of becoming homeless and I don't see the Poor People's Campaign doing much to help
Join our Faithful Democracy Campaign family & partners today at 4:30pm ET to celebrate the impact of Black History on our democracy: “If not for the courageous struggle and perseverance of African Americans to be civic participants, the oldest democracy in the world might still be an exclusionary system for white men. Learn how the For the People Act would honor that legacy with transformational federal democracy reforms. This faith-based Town Hall will look at the racial equity benefits of the bill, how it complements the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and the urgency of passage to safeguard our democracy.” #BlackHistoryMonth

“Manchin agrees we need to raise the minimum wage, but he thinks others should live on what he and others could not live off of, working for less than $15/hour.
We’re not interested in compromise. The $15 is a compromise.” -Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II
This Is Our Economic Selma — Repairers of the Breach

Just as the Selma campaign became a symbol during the civil rights movement of the need for legislation to expand voting rights, the $15/hour minimum wage proposal in Joe Biden’s “American Rescue Plan” represents the possibility that our government can take decisive action to make racial justi...Why doesn't he try living after $15 minimum wage for a month then
I am would love to debate Reverend Barber as I don't think the Poor People's Campaign is doing enough to help the poor people.$15.00 an hour is not enough to live on in California so the members of the Poor People's Campaign in California should fight for a higher minimum wage and also do more to help the poor people in California.Last month I got disgusted with the Poor People's Campaign and decided to leave the Poor People's Campaign and fight for the rights of the poor people on issues that the Poor People's Campaign is not doing.
15 dollars an hour is so 5 years ago ----
Well, we know his daughter needs millions to live on.
Thank you Reverend Barber
We need this
Join #FightFor15 workers, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, SEIU President Mary Kay Henry, union members and activists nationwide for #WalkoutWednesday. We're featuring stories of working Americans speaking about the urgency of winning a $15 national minimum wage NOW.
#RaiseTheWage
Please listen Sen Manchin! Raise wages.
No one should have to work two jobs to pay basic expenses.
Full-time at $10/hour is $1600 a month before taxes. Can technically only afford a room for $550 a month.
We all deserve medical care.
I appreciate each speaker for talking with us today. Love you all.
Thank you for sharing, Jordan. You deserve to be paid so much better for the important work you do.
Pass The Bill. Rescue Floor not the ceiling .Jane All in Texas
Call Manchin and tell him to keep 15min wage in the bill!
✊🏾#FightFor15

Shalom means peace!🙏🙏🙏
Get Her Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I support the $15 wage increase
$15.00 an hour is not enough to live on in California where in a lot of cities you need to make more just to pay the rent and add the other cost like food, utilities,healthcare and child care if you have children what is the Poor People's Campaign going to do to help them out.Last month I decided to leave the Poor People's Campaign as they are not doing enough to help out people like my oldest niece who has 2 young daughters and is at risk of becoming homeless do to hgh rental cost and lack of daycare

Respect Us, Protect Us, Pay Us! A $15 minimum wage will give 32 million workers a raise! It’s good for workers & the right thing to do. Let’s #RaiseTheWage! #FightFor15 #PoorPeoplesCampaign
In 1963, at the March on Washington, one of the agenda items, in addition to the Civil Rights Act, was a $2 minimum wage, which is transposed to today would be $15. We are 50-some years late! Congress must take action to #RaiseTheWage. Call your Senators: 888-639-5155 #FightFor15
Today, we're bringing out the banners and we're droppin' em.
We need $15 now, there's no negotiation. #RaiseTheWage #FightFor15
