Fight for $15

A wave of cities, counties, states and some retailers all over the country – tired of waiting for state or federal action – are raising wages. Iowa could be next! The pressure is building in Iowa to raise the minimum wage. Four Iowa counties have now approved minimum wage increases above $10 per hour by 2019.We applaud this move! BUT, it'll take all of us working together to pass—and defend—a significant wage increase. Let legislators know there is strong, widespread support for a $15/hour living wage.  We know $15 is what folks need to survive in Iowa. It's backed by local, state and national research.In a time of rampant inequality, the Fight for $15 will be a real win for everyday people. Living wages are a real win for all of us – our workers, our families, our businesses, and our community.
