📣 Raise Virginia's Minimum Wage to $15! 💼💰 In 2020, the Virginia General Assembly took a significant step by increasing the minimum wage from $7.25 to $12 per hour over three years. But here's the catch: we need your support to continue this positive change. The current minimum wage bill requires "reenactment" in the 2024 session to ensure it keeps increasing to $15 per hour. Without this, it will stagnate at $12 per hour. 📉 A jump from $12 to $15 per hour can be life-changing for families, especially considering rising costs due to inflation. It's a crucial step towards economic stability. The good news? Research shows that modest minimum wage increases, like Virginia's plan, don't result in job loss, contrary to some predictions. 📈 Who benefits? EVERYONE working in Virginia! A $15 minimum wage lifts many families out of poverty and supports a more equitable future for all. 🌟 Let's make this positive change happen. Contact your legislators and advocate for a $15 minimum wage. Together, we can build a stronger, fairer Virginia. 🤝💪 #MinimumWage #EconomicEquality #VirginiaProgress https://buff.ly/3TUcGv3
