On the heels of launching an effort to raise the federal minimum wage to $17 an hour over five years, US Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., 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 Schoo — plans to join Sanders to "make the moral case for raising wages."
