I found an article about raising the minimum wage and this petition on youngprogressivevoices.com. The article is very informative and includes facts about raising the minimum wage, countering the myths that have always circled around this issue. Once you read the article, which was very well-researched, you’ll realize that any arguments against raising the minimum wage have no basis in reality.
To sign the petition, go to petitions.moveon.org.

It is beyond shameful that the minimum wage is so low. If Congress truly represented the people, they would be shouting from the rooftops for change. Labor rights and fair wages have been a casualty of austerity in countries across the globe.
I hope this petition brings some awareness and progress.
Shameful is right!! I’m really hoping that this petition and the dialogue it starts causes a change.
Thanks so much for commenting!
