DESCRIPTION:$15 Fair Wage Now! Digital Rally & March on Sen. Manchin w/ Poor People's 
 Campaign \n\nMonday, Feb. 15 @ noon PT (3 PM ET)\n\nRally livestream here: 
 https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/livestream/\n\nDid you know that 58.3 
 million workers, nearly half the U.S. workforce, make less than $15 an 
 hour? In fact, raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour would put 
 $328 billion back into the hands of families, who will spend most of that 
 back into the economy. Amidst pandemic and recession, we need real relief, 
 and we know that real relief includes living wages for ALL.\n\nJoin us this 
 Moral Monday to Raise Up for $15. We’ll be streaming live from West 
 Virginia to our nationwide online broadcast to hear from folks who know 
 what it’s like to try to get by on minimum wage in America, and who have 
 borne the pain of the pandemic firsthand. \n\nRev. Barber is joining the 
 West Virginia PPC for a socially-distanced march and speak-out at the 
 office of Sen. Manchin to demand the Senate pass a real relief bill that 
 includes a $15 an hour minimum wage. \n\nWe need folks from across the 
 country to join us online and contact their senators to do the 
 same!\n______________________________________________________________\n\nTell

 Priorities for the First 100 Days: The PPC Sends New Demands to 
 Washington\n\nhttps://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/resource/policy-and-legislative-priorities/\n\nOn 
 behalf of the 140 million poor and low-income people in the country, the 
 Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival – and our 45 
 state coordinating committees, thousands of religious leaders, scholars, 
 economists, advocates and hundreds of supporting organizations – insists 
 that the following policies from the Poor People’s Jubilee Platform take 
 precedence during the first 50-100 days of the new administration and 117th 
 Congress.\n\nThe 14 policy priorities include:\n\n--Enact comprehensive and 
 just COVID-19 relief that provides free testing, treatment, vaccines and 
 direct payments to the poor\n--Guarantee quality health care for all, 
 regardless of any pre-existing conditions\n--Raise the minimum wage to $15/ 
 hour immediately\n--Update the poverty measure\n--Guarantee quality housing 
 for all\n--Enact a federal jobs program to build up investments, 
 infrastructure, public institutions, climate resilience, energy efficiency 
 and socially beneficial industries and jobs in poor and low-income 
 communities\n--Protect and expand voting rights and civil 
 rights\n--Guarantee safe, quality and equitable public education, with 
 supports for protection against re-segregation\n--Comprehensive and just 
 immigration reform\n--Ensure all of the rights of indigenous 
 peoples\n--Enact fair taxes and targeted tax credits\n--Use the power of 
 executive orders\n--Redirect the bloated Pentagon Budget towards these 
 priorities as matters of national security\n--Work with the PPC to 
 establish a permanent Presidential Council to advocate for this bold 
 agenda\n___________________________________________________________\n\n
