$15 an hour Minimum Wage on the Ballot in West Roxbury!

Over the last few weeks, 15 Now has been collecting signatures to put a $15/hr minimum wage on the ballot in several districts in Massachusetts, including West Roxbury and we've had neighborhood meetings all over the city of Boston. After turning in our signatures, we've made the ballot in West Roxbury! This November, working people all over the neighborhood will be able to way in on the national discussion by saying 'yes' to a $15/hr minimum wage in Boston! Please consider donating to help us hire an organizer for the ballot question adn stay tuned for more information surrounding the upcoming 'Vote Yes' campaign in West Roxbury this fall!  DONATE TODAY! We Need $15/Hour NOW! 15 Now was launched in January of 2014 by Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant and her organization Socialist Alternative with the support of unions, community organizations and low-wage workers. Within six months our grassroots campaign won a historic victory in Seattle, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. The first major city in the US to do so!   The victory of the campaign in Seattle marks a major turning point for working people. During a time when workers and unions are on the defensive from a seemingly unstoppable attack from big business, working people stood up to corporate power and won an estimated $3 billion wage increase for the lowest paid workers over the next 10 years, lifting 25% of the workforce in Seattle out of poverty. the message is clear: we can take on big business and win! 15 Now is an open grassroots organization that anyone can join who wants to help organize working people into a mass movement to win a $15 an hour minimum wage.    With over 30 chapters, 15 Now is spreading across the country like a prairie fire. From putting $15 on the ballot in Boston to pushing efforts forward in Chicago, the Bay Area, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and New York City -15 Now is a leading force in the struggle against the great scourge of our time - inequality!   Contact us:  15NowNewEngland@gmail.com Facebook.com/15NowNewEngland 910-639-3948
