Thank you for your partnership and support of hard-working American families.

We should work with Secretary Perez in the final months of the Congress to pass legislation that will increase the minimum wage.

It's not right that low-wage workers are working harder, yet sliding backwards, while the very few wealthiest Americans capture more and more of the gains.

We in the federal government should be helping students and schools make these leaps, not cutting them off at the knees.
