San Diego’s city council recently voted to increase their minimum wage to $11.50 by 2017, and the Los Angeles Workers Assembly and other activists are planning to draft a ballot that would boost minimum wages in LA to $15 an hour. Seattle has already approved a measure that will eventually raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour, and San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley are considering similar measures. It’s not just those living on America’s left coast that want to see minimum wages rise; roughly three quarters of Americans support a federal increase. We need to sign this petition in order to decrease poverty in California and support the economy.
