Fight Back Against Trump & Congress ATTACKS on working people

Fight For $15:

We’re on the brink of a crisis for working people.

Donald Trump JUST admitted that he supports slashing worker pay and limiting your freedom at work – all to help his rich buddies get even richer.

His Republican cronies in Congress are chomping at the bit to help make it happen – with so-called “right to work” laws that are TERRIBLE for working Americans.

Bryan: We can’t, we WON’T back down.

Tell Congress and state lawmakers: OPPOSE any and all legislation that hurts working people.

I live and work in Michigan. Five years ago, my governor pushed through a law that makes it next to impossible for people to join together in strong worker organizations, like unions. Just the kind of law that Trump said he supports now.

I’ve seen my wages stagnate. I can’t get a raise. I still make just $8.90 per hour at McDonald’s – even though I’ve been working hard for 5 years.

It’s not enough to feed myself or my kids – and it’s not right.

I’m not the only one. Across the country, in states like Michigan where people don’t have the freedom to form strong organizations, people make $6,000 less on average than others working the same exact job.

Send a message to lawmakers in Congress and President Trump to say NO to these attacks on worker freedom and worker pay. We simply can’t afford a pay cut.

Donald Trump ran as a champion of working people, with a promise to take on the rigged economy – but his support for these attacks shows that he only wants to rig it up even more.

We can’t let Trump, Congress, and their corporate cronies make life even harder for working people – and our movement must be strong, loud, and united if we’re going to stop them.

Add your voice to pressure Trump and Congress. “Right to work” is anti-democratic and wrong for working people, like firefighters, nurses, teachers, and fast-food workers like me.

Thanks for standing united at this important time. We’re proud to stand with you.

Onward,
