Saving Democracy via Economic Equity: The “Living Wage for All” Coalition and Campaign
Over 140 labor and community organizations have come together across the country to launch the “Living Wage for All” campaign, advancing bold visions and actions to address the affordability crisis through raising the minimum wage closer to the actual cost of living (at least $25 nationwide and $30 in higher-cost regions) with no exceptions. Working people across the country are questioning the plea to ‘join us to save democracy’ when democracy has not worked for them, as they have to work multiple jobs and still aren’t able to make ends meet. Come and hear about how this coalition is demonstrating that democracy can deliver on working people’s top concern, their survival, in order to restore faith in the idea that democracy is worth saving, and how you can join this campaign. With: Saru Jayaraman,President, One Fair Wage; others TBD.
