CALL SCRIPT

My name is [_your name_], and I am a constituent from [_your city and zip code_]. As we head into Labor Day weekend, I would like to urge you to support the Raise the Wage Act.

The federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009, and, at $7.25, its value is lower than it has been since 1956. The cost of living for two working adults with one child is currently higher than $17 per hour in every state, including Texas.

I am calling to speak not just for myself, but for those in my community who experience the worst outcomes caused by our unlivable minimum wage, including women of color, people with disabilities, tipped workers, and youth workers.

The Raise the Wage Act will improve the quality of life of American workers and their families and drive economic growth. Supporting this bill will show voters that you are aware of our struggles and working to address them.

Thank you for your time.

In April 2025, the Raise the Wage Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. If passed, it will raise the federal minimum wage to $17 per hour by 2030. Call you representative and demand they support the bill. | From National Employment Law Project: https://www.nelp.org/take-action/action-center/tell-congress-to-raise-the-wage/

Gloria Steinem understood that women’s equality begins with the freedom to make decisions about our own bodies, health, and futures.

For decades, she fought to make that freedom real for generations of women and girls. She spoke up when it was difficult, listened to those whose voices too often went unheard, and never stopped pushing our country forward.

Joe and I are holding Gloria’s loved ones in our hearts today. Her voice changed our country, and her courage will continue to inspire us to keep fighting for the freedoms she spent her life defending.
