Raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour would benefit 32 million workers and would give low-wage workers an extra $3,300 a year. I'll say that again. Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would benefit 32 MILLION workers. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

The owners of Walmart, the Walton Family, are the richest family in the country. They're worth $200 billion. They currently pay at least HALF their workers less than $15 an hour. That is absurd. The richest family in America can afford to pay their workers a living wage. https://t.co/Yw7bAJBBUp — PolitiTweet.org

Let me congratulate the workers at Amazon for having the incredible courage to stand up and to fight for a union. The fight you are waging will send a message to workers all across the country that if they stand up, stand together, and fight, they can win. https://t.co/7cG5v6elCb — PolitiTweet.org

Some people — including Senators — say, "Well, Bernie, how can we afford to act on climate change?” The real question is: how can we afford NOT to act while climate change causes destruction and suffering? We have a moral obligation to protect the planet for future generations. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to support @gilcedillo’s campaign for reelection to the City Council. He knows that working people built Los Angeles, and he fights every day to make sure their voices are heard over the concerns of the wealthy and the powerful. https://t.co/HsehsIM4zV — PolitiTweet.org

Cowardly Republicans, afraid of democracy, want to make it harder for people to participate in the political process. What are they afraid of? Our job is to make it easier to vote, increase voter turnout and strengthen our democracy. Together, we will end voter suppression. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

No one can tell me that you can live in dignity on $7.25 an hour. It cannot be done. It is time we finally do what is right, and raise the federal minimum wage to a living wage of $15 an hour. No more starvation wages! https://t.co/0mGwm1TiYH — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I’m endorsing @JuanForRep for state representative because when he gets to the state house he will put the working people of the 19th district before the needs of special interests and the wealthy. https://t.co/jiRoLJfCDo — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This is the height of corporate greed. The owners of Kroger choose to shut down stores instead of simply paying the workers risking their lives who make their corporate profits possible. Absolutely despicable. https://t.co/oFjbKuuTMM — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

When the gap between the very rich & everyone else is widening; when the 50 richest Americans own more wealth than the bottom half of our country; when the effective tax rate of billionaires is less than that of average workers; YES. We must address income & wealth inequality. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Raising the minimum wage is not just about economic justice – it is about racial justice. Nearly half of Black and Latino workers in America make under $15 an hour. We must end starvation wages, and give 32 million Americans a raise by increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The overwhelming majority of the American people understand that we must end starvation wages in America. That means raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour by 2025. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Let's be clear. The rich are doing just fine. Billionaires are seeing tremendous growth in their wealth. But working families are living in more desperation than at any time since the Great Depression. Congress has got to move forward vigorously, and help the American people. https://t.co/TU6vyW4OVD — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Instead of spending billions on 30 second tv ads, Democrats must invest in 12 months a year grassroots organizing around the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice. If we build a political movement from the ground on up, we cannot lose. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I stand in strong solidarity with fast food workers all over this country who are going on strike today to demand $15 an hour and a union. The Senate must raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour with 51 votes this year. We have got to end the crisis of starvation wages in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Does the Republican Party believe in democracy or the Big Lie and conspiracy theories? That is what Republicans must decide. That is what is at stake. https://t.co/Mx3M1U4Qaz — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The Covid relief bill when passed is going to do a lot of good for working Americans, but one thing that simply cannot be emphasized enough is that it will cut child poverty IN HALF – the biggest reduction in modern history. That's why we must act and act quickly. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The impeachment trial was not just about Trump's speech on January 6. It was about whether we remain a democracy or move toward authoritarianism: big lies, racism, divisiveness, violence and one-man rule. That's what the trial was about and that's what 43 Republicans voted for. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Thank you @USProgressives for your leadership. The Covid Bill in the House increases stimulus checks to $2000 for the working class, raises the minimum wage to $15 an hour, cuts childhood poverty in half and extends unemployment benefits. The Senate must prepare to act quickly. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

It is not acceptable that in America today the very rich get much richer, while working families struggle. No more austerity economics. We need an economy that works for all, not just the few. https://t.co/bkMBq5V758 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

It is truly sad and dangerous that only 7 Republicans voted to convict a president who is promoting a Big Lie, conspiracy theories and violence, and is aggressively trying to destroy American democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This is what the Big Lie is all about. Three months after the election, and 61 court decisions later, Trump and his attorneys still refuse to acknowledge that he lost the election. Pathetic. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This is about greed – plain and simple. Closing down Minor League teams, like the Vermont Lake Monsters, is a disaster for baseball fans, workers, and communities across the country. I will do all I can to fight it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Millions of Americans are trying to survive on starvation wages. Half of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Inequality is growing. It is a moral imperative to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. We must act NOW. https://t.co/mrdStdnNjD — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Maybe – just maybe – instead of listening to the billionaire class we should pass the relief the American people are demanding and desperately need. That’s what Democrats promised, and that’s exactly what we must do. Let's get it done. https://t.co/5o43Jg900S — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

It's time to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. https://t.co/BlvQ52unvn — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The Republican Party has a fundamental choice to make. It can be a conservative party that believes in democracy and the rule of law or it can be an authoritarian party that’s built on conspiracy theories, violence and the Big Lie. But it cannot be both. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

While the top hedge fund managers made $23 billion in 2020, millions of people struggled to put food on the table for their children and pay their rent. It’s time to rethink our national priorities and finally build an economy that works for all – not just the billionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Congratulations to the House Leadership and the Progressive Caucus. It is absurd to create an income eligibility cap that would mean 40 million Americans who got support under Trump wouldn’t get checks under Biden. Let’s get this done. https://t.co/7T9obKuWr4 — PolitiTweet.org
