Francis Adams, left, a home care worker from Washington, PA., takes a drink of juice in Bloomfield after he and three of his colleagues ended a two-day fast to urge Congress to pass legislation establishing a $15 an hour minimum wage on Friday, March 5, 2021. At right is Hillary Rothrock, a home care worker from Harrisburg. “It’s important for the world to see we’re underpaid,” Adams said. “It’s not just us, workers in restaurants and stores, too.
