Dear John,

On Tuesday morning, we showed up at Los Angeles City Hall to say in one voice: DON’T SIGN the misleading petition, and don’t let the CEOs steal money out of the pockets of hard-working LA families.

Just two weeks ago we won an “Olympic Wage” when City Hall passed an ordinance to keep tourism workers healthy and housed by raising wages to $30 by the 2028 Olympics along with access to family health care. We fought alongside the workers who keep the Los Angeles tourism industry running and a broad community coalition for over two years to secure this historic victory.

But now, greedy CEOs and their billion-dollar corporations are spending millions of dollars in an effort to make sure that people who are barely getting by in LA don’t get a raise. Last Friday, a group of companies, with major funding from United Airlines, Delta, and the American Hotel & Lodging Association, began circulating a petition in our communities to overturn the living wage.

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP:

If someone approaches you to sign a petition, DON’T SIGN. Instead, visit defendthewage.la to report where and when you’ve seen petitioners trying to get signatures, and download a revocation form if you’ve mistakenly signed. You can also call in reports to our hotline at (909) 326-0042.
Volunteer to help defend the wage! You can sign up for a shift here.
Post on your social media to spread the word: DON’T SIGN any petition and head to defendthewage.la instead! Make sure to tag @tourismworkersrising on Instagram so we can share it.
