🌹RAISE THE WAGE SIGNATURE VALIDATION SESSION🌹

This Tuesday

Between 5:30 and 6 at Southside Commons

Are you coming in person to the Chapter Membership meeting on Tuesday? Want a way to help out with Raise the Wage even if you can't make it down to Renton to Canvass?

You can help us validate and fix signatures before we turn them in! A lot of our signatures get rejected because they weren't filled out correctly, and fixing them is a surefire way to increase our chances of getting on the ballot.

Today we had a super successful signature validation session. We went through 146 sheets and corrected 258 signatures! That is like collecting an extra 258 signatures!

This is one of the most impactful ways you can help us get across the finish line in the final weeks of signature gathering! Just show up between 5:30 and 6 at Southside Commons, bring a laptop (smart phone will also work but not as efficiently) and help us fix a few signatures. Snacks will be provided.

🌹 Hey friends!
Time for your Raise the Wage Renton Update 🌹

🎉✍️Right now, working class folks in Renton have to work 72 hours a week to afford an average 1 bedroom apartment! Working people need a raise and they need to see socialists earning it for them together! Help us qualify our minimum wage initiative for the ballot in Renton so we can transfer an estimated $45 MILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR to the lowest paid workers who are disproportionately people of color, women, and LGBTQIA+!

We’re turning in our FIRST batch of signatures very soon, by the END OF JUNE. Sign up for tabling or canvassing this weekend so we can turn in as many signatures as possible before the end of the month!🎉✍️

📅 What’s happening this weekend? 📅

We’ve got signature gathering events this week - join any of them for whatever period of time works for you and RSVP at the links below!

🥇 How can I help? 🥇

If you’re ready to help, join a signature gathering event.
Can’t make it down to Renton but have funds to spare? We have an incredible team of paid signature collectors, and donating $250 is about the equivalent of a paid signature gatherer collecting 100 signatures: https://secure.anedot.com/raisethewagerenton/donate
