Where should the next minimum wage increase happen?
Team,
Exciting news from the Evergreen State: Washington has just raised its minimum wage to an impressive $16.28 per hour! This is a significant step towards ensuring that workers receive fair wages, regardless of their location.
However, the sad truth remains that the federal minimum wage has not seen an increase since 2009. At the Fairness Project, we're working tirelessly alongside voters, successfully winning 10 ballot measure campaigns in eight states and localities to raise wages to a level that workers truly need and deserve.
Our commitment to ensuring workers receive a livable wage and have strong labor protections continues, but we can't do it alone. We need your input.
Far too many Americans are facing the daily struggle of putting food on the table or paying their bills. When politicians fail to act, citizens have been taking matters into their own hands, just as Washington and other states have done.
From Nebraska to California, we've demonstrated our ability to drive the change our communities crave and deserve by participating in the democratic process. As we gear up for 2023 and 2024, we need your support to ensure that the federal minimum wage is raised.
Thanks to grassroots supporters like you, our team at the Fairness Project has won over 30 people-powered ballot measure campaigns since 2016, changing over 18 million lives by expanding health care, raising wages, guaranteeing paid leave, and ending predatory lending directly at the ballot box when politicians refuse to act. Your support allows us to make this progress possible.
