May 29, 2023 - On the heels of launching an effort to raise the federal minimum wage to $17 an hour over five years, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday announced upcoming rallies to demand the pay hike in three states, where he will be joined by Bishop William Barber II.

 

Barber — Repairers of the Breach president, Poor People’s Campaign co-chair, and founding director of the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale Divinity School — plans to join Sanders (I-Vt.) to “make the moral case for raising wages.”
