“A minimum wage increase is crucial for all Americans, more so for women and minorities. Ten years of neglect, plus inflation, have left workers living below poverty. 1.4 million working women will be main beneficiaries for an increase from $5.15 to eventually $7.25 per hour in 2 years, of which 33 percent are African American and Hispanic female workers. It helps economic social conditions, reduces pay gaps. It helps the economy. More money spent will create more career opportunities through affordability of education. Women breadwinners can increase economic and financial independence. Enough talk. Take action. Have a conscience. Help America. Vote for the minimum wage increase.”
