✊ Help us #Fightfor15 in Georgia ✊
|
Millions of workers put their lives on the line daily for unlivable wages and unfair treatment in the workplace. And while the pandemic surges on, the 1% continues to exploit working people for profits. Enough is enough: working Georgians deserve a living wage of at least $15/hour!
Atlanta DSA has been busy over the last month launching our campaign to Fight for $15 — talking to working Georgians about the cost of living and why we need to fight for a living wage!
