Screenshot of a post from Alexis Cardarella (@thatquietsong). It reads:

Half of America makes less than 35k.

Stop asking us why we're not having children. Stop asking us why we're not buying homes. Stop asking us why we can't save. Stop asking why we don't get a better job.

Ask corporations why they're paying their employees low wages.

All workers deserve thriving wages
