Friend --
I just left Martin Luther King, Jr. Park where an Angeleno named
Joseph Galloway spoke passionately about his struggles to make ends
meet despite working full-time as a delivery driver -- a job he took after
being forced to leave college to support his family after the death of his
father. Stories like his are the reasons why today I'm proposing to raise
the minimum wage in LA.
Will you join us? Click here to add your name to our coalition to #RaiseTheWageLA.
My plan would raise the minimum wage in LA to a level where working
people could lift themselves out of poverty. This will help us all. 1 million
Angelenos live in poverty -- this holds our entire economy back. Minimum
wage earners pump their salaries back into our economy.
I'm so proud that our coalition includes business leaders like Eli Broad and
labor leaders like Maria Elena Durazo -- and even President Obamaave us a shout
out this weekend. But we need the people of LA to speak out.
Make no mistake, we have a tough fight ahead of us. I need you.
Add your name to our list of supporters.
