The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival and SEIU meet online with Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia to discuss the urgent need to include a minimum wage of $15/hour in the next COVID relief bill that Congress passes and holds a news conference afterwards. Manchin has opposed raising the minimum wage to $15/hour even though as of 2018, 50% of West Virginia’s workforce -- 351,000 people -- makes under $15/hour. West Virginia’s minimum wage is $8.75/hour, while a living wage in 2019 would have been $23.20/hour. In addition, the Poor People’s Campaign will hold its next Moral Monday outside Manchin’s office on Feb. 22, when it also will hold speak-outs in other states, including Arizona, where Sen, Kyrsten Sinema also has said she opposes $15/hour as part of COVID relief.
