President Obama said it best in his weekly address: "We have before us an historic opportunity to pursue a safer, more secure world for our children



Stjepan -- 

After two years of negotiations and intentional diplomacy, the United States and its international partners have achieved something that decades of animosity has not -- a long-term agreement that will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

President Obama said it best in his weekly address: "We have before us an historic opportunity to pursue a safer, more secure world for our children. It might not come around again in our lifetimes."

Part of our mission is to educate people about the issues they care about -- and over the past week we've heard a lot from folks who want to know more about this deal, and why the President is so passionate about it. As part of that, we're excited to share an invitation to join President Obama on the phone tonight, along with progressive organizers around the country, to hear from him about the deal and what it means for our nation.

You'll find the White House's invite below -- here are the details:

    What: Call on the Iran deal with President Obama
    When: Thursday, July 30th, 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time
    Where: Call (866) 254-5934, use passcode 365802

After the call, you can let us know what you thought here:

CREDO action
Tell Congress: Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour
The petition to the U.S. Congress reads:
“No American who earns the federal minimum wage should live in poverty. Support the Pay Workers a Living Wage Act to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.”

Dear STJEPAN,
At just $7.25 an hour, the federal minimum wage leaves a family of three living below the poverty line. A minimum wage worker can't even afford rent for a modest, two-bedroom apartment by working a standard 40-hour work week.
Thanks to the activism of hundreds of thousands of CREDO members who have been fighting with our labor and progressive allies across the country, the effort to raise the minimum wage is gaining momentum. Just this month, fast food workers in New York scored a major victory when the Fight for $15 movement successfully urged state officials to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $15 an hour.1
And now the Fight for $15 movement got a major boost. Progressive champions Rep. Keith Ellison, Rep. Raul Grijalva, and Sen. Bernie Sanders recently introduced the Pay Workers a Living Wage Act, new legislation that would raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
With momentum growing across the country to raise the minimum wage, now is the time to pressure Congress to support this legislation and lift millions of Americans out of poverty.
Three million American workers earn wages at or below the federal minimum wage, and another 20.6 million are considered "near-minimum-wage" workers.2 In total, 35 million Americans – over a quarter of our entire country's workforce – earn less than $10.55 an hour,3 and a stunning 53 million earn less than $15 an hour.4
This legislation would gradually raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2020, then index the wage to inflation for following years. The bill would also phase out the tipped minimum wage, which is just $2.13 an hour for workers who earn tips, and make it easier for federal workers to join a union.
While Republicans and corporate special interests invoke doom and gloom if we raise wages, the opposite has in fact been the case. In the town of SeaTac, Washington, for example, which recently raised its minimum wage to $15 an hour, the unemployment rate has significantly decreased, and small businesses have been growing and expanding. In fact, of the 29 states and dozens of cities and towns that have set their own minimum wage above the federal minimum, many are seeing faster job growth than the rest of the country.5
Boosting the minimum wage minimum wage to $15 per hour would give a much-needed pay raise to a nearly 25 million workers across the country.
This legislation would also have a sweeping, positive effect across age, gender, and racial lines. Contrary to the claims of opponents to raising the minimum wage, the majority of minimum wage earners are not teens, but are adults who contribute significantly to their household's income.6 A disproportionate number of these workers – 62% of all minimum wage earners – are female, including 6 million working moms.7 And under this new legislation, more than 50% of African-Americans and nearly 60% of Latino workers would see a pay increase.8
Public support for this legislation is overwhelming. A recent poll showed that 63% of Americans support an increase in the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour,9 and over 200 respected economists have already signed on to support this legislation. And Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi just threw her support behind raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, which is not only a sure sign that Congressional leadership plan to back this bill, but it will also serve to pressure the Obama Administration to support this critical wage hike.10
On the heels of recent victories by our friends in the Fight for $15 movement across the country, there is no better time to increase pressure on Congress to support raising the federal minimum wage to no less than $15 an hour.
Tell Congress: Raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Click the link below to sign the petition:
Thanks for all your help to raise the minimum wage.
