Dr. Oge Young strongly supports SB1 because, "Paid family leave is fundamental to a healthy society...I would argue that we cannot afford not to have paid family leave. The future of our society rests on this investment." Read more below! #nhpolitics

Testifying in support of #SB1, Senator @mfclark says one of the great aspects of this bill is that it ensures the Granite Staters who need access to a #paidleave benefit most, have it. #nhpolitics

Congratulations to the workers of New Jersey!
Onward #FightFor15!
The minimum wage is set to rise to $15 an hour in New Jersey by 2024. It places New Jersey among the most progressive states on the wage issue, joining California, New York and Massachusetts. nyti.ms/2FN3Hpv

In all 50 states, data shows a single worker currently needs or will soon need at least $15 an hour to cover basic living costs. The Raise the Wage Act of 2019 would help ensure that more working people throughout the country will be able to make ends meet. #raisethewage

Why do we need a $15 minimum wage nationwide? Because as Richard explains, over 20 states have made it illegal for cities and town to raise the wage. It's time for a federal $15 standard.

The national minimum wage is $7.25. It's a poverty wage, and it hasn't been raised in over 9 years. House+Senate Democrats just introduced a federal $15 minimum wage and we're going to fight to make it a reality!

Glad to see @GovChrisSununu recognizing the importance of #paidleave to NH families, however if he wants to get serious about a solution he needs to reach out to New Hampshire stakeholders and create a workable path forward. #nhpolitics

1 in 9 workers is paid a wage that leaves them in poverty even when working full-time and year-round #RaiseTheWage @NelpNews

So @GovChrisSununu is going to unilaterally propose a paid family & medical leave insurance program with no buy-in from NH stakeholders, no actuary studies to back it up, and no legislative ground game in place to advance it? Yup, sounds like a Sununu plan alright #nhpolitics

18 states began the new year with increases in their minimum hourly wage. Will NH some day follow? (After possibly re-establishing a minimum wage in state law...)nhpr.org/post/democrats-aim-…

As I told the @nytimes, my colleague @AOC has the ability to put issues on the map. We've had champions on these issues before, but her following in the press and digitally should be seen as an opportunity for progressives to push our priorities forward. nytimes.com/2019/01/13/nyreg…
