Oklahoma Republicans fought to keep workers at $7.25, a poverty wage frozen since 2009. MAGA Gov. Stitt buried the vote in a low turnout primary on purpose. Cruelty is the policy. Had voters turned out, the wage would have climbed to $15 by 2029. #RaiseTheWage #LivingWage

Yo, Mutherfucker! Your servers aren't indentured servants or slaves. If you can't afford to pay them a living wage, you shouldn't be running a restaurant.

Polls are open in Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, and Washington, D.C. Get out and vote. Oklahoma’s wage has been frozen at $7.25 since 2009, and MAGA Republican leaders want to keep it there. Vote yes on SQ 832 for a $15 wage, and vote Democratic. #GOTV #RaiseTheWage #LivingWage #MinimumWageEarners

Gen Z can’t afford $15 drinks on a $7.25/hr wage — frozen since 2009, the longest stretch in US history. Republicans blocked every raise. Trump already cut wages for federal workers. Some Republicans want the minimum wage gone. #RaiseTheWage #LivingWage #VoteBlue #Vote🍺
