Your Senators Need to Hear From You! The majority of minimum wage earners are women. Stand up for women workers and send a message to your Senators today urging them to raise the minimum wage!

February 09, 2010 Subject: I am writing to urge you to support an increase in the federal minimum wage. Your vote to boost the wages of underpaid workers, who are primarily women and minorities, would end the longest period of time in history Americans have gone without a raise in the minimum wage. Taking inflation into account, the federal minimum wage is at its lowest rate in 50 years. Women are 61% of all minimum wage earners. One-third of these women are the sole breadwinners for their entire family. At the current federal minimum wage of $5.15 per hour, a worker laboring year-round, full-time will only earn $10,300 a year. This is $6,000 below the federal poverty line for a mother with two children. It is time to put an end to this injustice for minimum wage workers. Please support an increase in the federal minimum wage. We will add your signature from the information you provide.
