Add your name today to support raising the minimum wage

Living on the minimum wage shouldn’t mean living in poverty.

Why is this important?

At Make It Work, we don't think anyone who works full time should have to struggle to put food on the table or pay the bills.

Yet, that's reality for millions of Americans today.

The minimum wage just hasn’t kept up with the times -- and that means far too many hard workers from all walks of life are unable to make ends meet.

Election Day is right around the corner. There’s no better time to send a message to candidates that if they want our votes, they need to show they’ll fight to make this country a fairer place to live and work for ALL of us.

The bottom line? If politicians want to talk “family values,” it’s time they valued working families -- and recognizing that everyone deserves a living wage would be a good first step.

We won’t wait another two years to be heard. Together, we can change the conversation, but we need as many voices as possible to join in.
