Living Wage--Raise the Minimum Wage

All people deserve the chance to afford housing, food and medical needs.
Too many people are working but still unable to make ends meet.
Raising the minimum wage from $8.00 to $15.00 is a necessary step for people to be able to support themselves.

Why is this important?

New York's current minimum wage is $8.00. That's not enough for anyone to live on! We deserve an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected. Join with me in calling on our state legislature to pass legislation to raise the minimum wage to $15.
