We are calling for the #NCGA to #RaisetheWage for working North Carolinians! More than 967,300 NC workers make less than $15/hr,and 35,000 make less than $7.25/hr. WE NEED CHANGES NOW! https://t.co/4KELZtR8pF #WagesWednesday #Fightfor15 @RaisingWagesNC @RaisingWagesNC

What we're losing out on thanks to Manchin's obstruction: a thread 🧵 —The #GOPTaxScam will remain in place, none of its $2 trillion cost will be recovered to fund new investments or reduce the deficit —Rising inequality in America will continue unabated https://t.co/wQBxQbXGBv

Momentum continues to build for a livable minimum wage! The wage hasn't been raised nationally in over a decade. Help build toward a $15 minimum wage for all NC workers tomorrow, at events around the state: https://t.co/2yJZVY2ttM #15forNC #Fightfor15

The bill introduced today to raise NC's minimum wage is one of the most inclusive in the entire nation! #15forNC #15forALL! https://t.co/mdyYiOOqNC

We're now talking with legislators about the need to raise the minimum wage for all NC!

"Since the 1970s, American's buying power has been cut in half. The min wage, when created decades ago, provided for housing, transportation, food. It wasn't meant to be a survival wage, it was intended that full time workers could prosper." -Ana Pardo, @ncjustice #15in5

"A community can not be successful unless everyone has an opportunity to participate. We have to take care of the people in our state. We need our state to step up and raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour." --Eric Henry, president of TS Designs in Burlington #15forNC #NCpol

"Historically domestic workers and farm workers have been left out of protections. These exclusions have been intentional. Our laws have been written to further disadvantage certain groups." -Care worker Priscilla Smith, National Domestic Workers Alliance We Dream in Black NC

"This bill includes those previously excluded from minimum wage protection. Farmworkers, like care workers, provide a vital service for us all." -Direct care worker Priscilla Smith, National Domestic Workers Alliance We Dream in Black NC Chapter #LivingWages #15forNC #15in5

"We have come here today asking for enough: enough to provide shelter, enough to provide clothing, enough to support those that depend on us" -Rev. Jennifer Copeland, @NC @ncchurches (Happening now! watch live at https://t.co/tTYuJhQREe) #NCpol #ncga #15forNC

Today's planning session and workshop with leaders from across the state was a powerful reminder of why this work is so important... Thanks to everyone for bringing their renewed motivation, energy, and ideas to the campaign to raise NC wages!

“Nearly a year after the tax cut, economic growth has accelerated. Wage growth has not.” #ncpol https://t.co/2iVGhipXoa

#FlorenceAftermath affords the opportunity to do better going forward in NC, but only if the #NCGA allows it. #ncpol

“Perhaps it wasn’t the best idea for Republican state legislators in North Carolina to openly admit that they were drawing partisan gerrymanders.” #ncpol #ncga https://t.co/v7YIOLBK4g

Surprise! #NCGA leadership releases new constitutional amendment language. #ncpol https://t.co/wFOOgBWc0Y
