“We also welcome the critical mass of support building among state legislators for a decent minimum wage. Nearly all of our greatest challenges as Pennsylvanians – from home care worker shortages to public services like mass transit stuck in the 2000s – are tied into our having the lowest minimum wage in the region. Senate Republicans must stop blocking bills to raise the minimum wage so that Pennsylvania’s workforce can prosper and grow.
PA's minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009 - suppressing workers' earnings potential and ability to save and plan for their futures. All six states that neighbor the Commonwealth - even West Virginia! - offer a higher minimum wage to hourly workers. #PAbudget #RaiseTheWagePA

Colorful graphic reads “Get Involved! Tell state legislators that you support a state budget that works For Our Common Wealth!” with a link that’s also provided in the post. It also reads “learn more at www . pennpolicy . org / pa-budget-resources26-27.”
What can we do to make this happen?
Take action and let your legislators know that you want to #RaiseTheWagePA and ask them to fight for a budget that works For Our Common Wealth! www.bit.ly/FOCW-petition

Large text reads “Raising PA’s minimum wage to $15/hr could add an additional $80 MILLION to the state budget - every year!” Smaller text reads This increase in revenue can be invested back into communities!” with arrow pointing to “More $$ for public transit” “more $$ for roads and bridges” “more $$ for schools” and “more $$ for childcare programs.”
On top of being a clear win for workers, this could bring more than $80M additional dollars in revenue to the state – every year!
💰 This much-needed additional revenue can be invested back in communities.

A map of PA and each state surrounding it, plus some nearby new england states. It shows PA’s minimum wage at $7.25, and every other state’s is higher. For example, OH is $11, and NJ is $15.92. Text reads “Pennsylvania hasn’t raised its minimum wage in over 16 years. Despite every state around us raising their minimum wage, Pennsylvania workers are still making as little as $7.25/hr or $2.83 for tipped workers.”
PA hasn’t raised our minimum wage in over 16 years!
Legislation to #RaiseTheWagePA has passed in the state House in recent years, but every time it is allowed to die in the Republican-controlled Senate.

(2/): Every neighboring state has raised wages. Pennsylvania has not.
We are falling behind.

Text reads “If PA raised the minimum wage to $15/hr, 865,600 PA workers would benefit. Of those workers, 61% are women, only 19% are teens, 34% are people of color, 1 in 5 are parents, over 40% work full time.”
Raising the minimum wage isn’t just about those making $7.25...it would have concrete impacts on nearly one in four people.
It creates jobs and helps the economy.
A rising tide lifts all boats, and it’s time the PA Senate rises to the moment and raises the minimum wage! #PABudget

The PA Legislature hasn’t raised the minimum wage for 20 YEARS!
What’s worse? Employers in PA can still pay people with disabilities a subminimum wage and incarcerated workers can make as little as $0.19/hr.
Will this #PABudget be the one where we finally #RaiseTheWagePA?

💲 20 years with no raise thanks to PA Republicans. What does that say about how we value working people?
💸 Let’s rethink. Inflation went up. Wages stayed the same. PA, is this fair?

🔷 In 2010, the wage was $7.25.
🔷 In 2026, it’s still $7.25.
📣 That’s not progress. That’s a pause. And it’s all thanks to the Republican controlled state senate.
☎️ Call your State Senator today and demand Pennsylvania catches up to our neighboring states!

Pennsylvania has changed a lot in 20 years; shouldn’t wages, too? The only thing that hasn’t changed is Republicans in Harrisburg holding up the wages we deserve. #RaiseTheWagePA #20YearsLate

Pennsylvania workers have waited long enough while the Republican-controlled state senate refuses to raise the minimum wage. Justice starts with fair pay. ✊#RaiseTheWagePA #20YearsLate

Educators in Pennsylvania know this disparity hurts kids the most. I hope every elected official who says they support working people resolves to fix this in the new year.

“It’s time! We must raise the wage.” — @repronigreen.com
Pennsylvania is still dead last in the nation for minimum wage. Rain didn’t stop lawmakers, workers & unions from rallying in Harrisburg today to demand action. #RaiseTheWagePA

a map of Pennsylvania and the states surrounding it, plus Massachusetts and Connecticut. Titled “Every state around Pennsylvania has raised their minimum wage. PA has been stuck at $7.25 for over 15 years.” You can see that other states have higher minimum wages as of Jan 1st 2025, such as NY at $16.50, West Virginia at $12, and New Jersey at $15.49.
Governor Shapiro calls on the legislature to raise the minimum wage in this year's #PABudget
Last year, the PA House passed legislation, but it died in the Senate. The Senate must act!
Honestly, we're running out of ways to say...can we do this already?!
