(4/4) We are sick and tired of public policy that harms poor people and exacerbates the extreme income inequality that already exists in our state. The NHHPC will continue the fight to raise the wage and protect workers from harassment.
(1/4) The New Hampshire House Progressive Caucus (NHHPC) is appalled that today the New Hampshire House passed SB137. This bill, as amended, will deny tipped workers any benefit of an increase in the federal minimum wage.
(3/4) We are proud of our caucus co-chair Josh Adjutant, who spoke powerfully in solidarity with tipped workers, and leadership team member Maria Perez, for her incredible advocacy on behalf of this group.
(2/2)Workers are the backbone of the American economy, & organizing has bettered their lives. Unions have brought us the weekend, child labor laws, sexual harassment laws, & countless other worker protections. The NHHPC will always stand with workers and their right to unionize.
(1/2) The New Hampshire House Progressive Caucus (NHHPC) is elated that the full House did the right thing in defeating SB61, a union busting law misleadingly touted as a โRight to Workโ (RTW). We know that over time, RTW legislation leads to lower wages and weaker unions.
(3/3) We stand 100% in solidarity with the queer community and will fight within the legislature for their rights and dignity. Rep. Dick Marstonโs comments are reflective of bigotry and should have no place in public policy. We call for his immediate resignation.
(2/3) The NHHPC is deeply disturbed by GOP Rep. Dick Marston commentโs referring to members of the GLBTQ+ community as โsome deviant sexuality.โ This comment came during a public hearing in the Criminal Justice Committee on HB238, which sought to outlaw the GLBTQ Panic Defense.
(1/3) The New Hampshire Progressive House Caucus is dedicated to working to advance public policy that promotes social, environmental, and economic justice within the NH legislature.
