Working

I’m excited to share the trailer for Working. In this series, I talk to American workers across various industries – from hospitality and technology to home care – to understand their jobs and hopes for the future. I hope you’ll check it out on @Netflix on May 17. pic.twitter.com/GNQPns6Mzf

Reducing Barriers

Here’s an example of a smart policy that gets rid of unnecessary college degree requirements and reduces barriers to good paying jobs. I hope other states follow suit! https://t.co/ik8SOeoMem

Today, I signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law. It does so much of what we've fought to make happen for years like lowering costs and proving our government can work for working folks.

Here are the three major things you should know: https://t.co/7d5Dnk4bKS

Futures Series

Michelle and I started the @ObamaFoundation's Futures Series to connect the young leaders of tomorrow with the trailblazers of today. It’s great to see the impact that it’s already having on students from the South Side. https://t.co/0Ga97LzU09

We have a responsibility to the young people of the neighborhood. That's why we launched our Futures Series at Hyde Park Academy, the high school that neighbors the future Obama Presidential Center, to expose students to careers they may not have been envisioning for themselves. pic.twitter.com/fyLYITWG7r

Build Back Better

In a country as large and diverse as ours, progress can often feel frustrating and slow, with small victories accompanied by frequent setbacks. But once in a while, it’s still possible to take a giant leap forward. That’s what the Build Back Better framework represents. pic.twitter.com/ouKhRRz6qP

Surprise Visit

In the summer of 2019, @BarackObama paid our Obama Youth Jobs Corps interns a surprise visit. Hear them reflect on a day they'll never forget. #FeelGoodFriday pic.twitter.com/Gsam7xyK7G

Changes, They Are Aaah-Coming

Direct cash payments.
Extended unemployment.
Rent relief.
Food assistance.
Aid to small businesses.
Keeping essential frontline workers on the job.

Those are the key elements of my American Rescue Plan.

Biden including a $15 minimum wage in his stimulus plan is huge

Biden moving to abolish the tipped minimum wage and sub-minimum wage for people with disabilities in his stimulus package is even bigger IMO

The bar and restaurant industry has been gutted this last year. Making it so that when its safe for those people to go back to work that they can make an actual living wage instead of hoping their customers aren’t jerks is exactly what they deserve

— Hayes Brown (@HayesBrown) January 15, 2021

Honestly, I don’t know how anyone can know someone who’s been on waitstaff or bar staff and NOT be in favor of getting rid of the tipped minimum wage

— Hayes Brown (@HayesBrown) January 15, 2021

Also: if you’re a person who tips now and say you will stop once people make the actual minimum wage even without tips? Why? Why would you suddenly think “well, I guess they no longer did the exact same thing that would have gotten them a tip before”?

For eight years, Joe was the last one in the room whenever I faced a big decision. He made me a better president. And today, we have the chance to elect Joe and Kamala to build our country back better. But it’s going to take every single one of us. Vote: https://t.co/XdZz4dh82T https://t.co/Tg95bMztqT
