"Some of the largest, most profitable companies in retail and food services are still paying most of their workers less than $15 an hour, and many still make less than $10 an hour, according to a new company wage tracker developed by the Economic Policy Institute and the Shift Project." — The Guardian

Friend — News mentions like these are EXACTLY why every election year, you’ll find us fighting on the frontlines alongside working people in America:

News Clipping Graphic from The Guardian: "Some of the largest, most profitable companies in retail and food services are still paying most of their workers less than $15 an hour, and many still make less than $10 an hour, according to a new company wage tracker developed by the Economic Policy Institute and the Shift Project."

And with the 2022 midterms rapidly approaching, we need your help ASAP to pass more progress this November. Fuel our fight for higher wages in 2022. >>

FIGHT FOR HIGHER WAGES

When the federal minimum wage hasn’t increased in almost 15 years (!!), Congress and our country are not working for the people.

Here at the Fairness Project, we firmly believe that no one should have to live in poverty and that every single person in this country deserves to be paid a fair and livable wage. So we took matters into our own hands.

Since 2016, we’ve fought alongside workers to pass ballot measures that give them the financial stability they need. Our minimum wage campaigns have put $22 billion into the hands of workers in 8 states and counting. We’re ready to bring billions more back to working people, but friend, we urgently need your help.

An already-full slate of 2022 ballot measure campaigns means we need massive resources to run and win all of our campaigns this year. Will you make a donation of $5, $10, or whatever you can afford to fuel our fight for higher wages this November?
