Calls to Action
Take Action to #RaiseTheWagePA! Our state budget is due by June 30, which means that only days remain to pressure our legislature to raise the minimum wage in Pennsylvania. No one can survive on $7.25, and it is past time for our elected leaders to raise the minimum wage and lift Pennsylvania workers out of poverty. Contact your legislators today and demand a state budget that increases Pennsylvania’s minimum wage! You can find contact information for your legislators here.
