SUMMARY:"Raise the Wage" Liveable Wage Press Conference and Rally
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a press conference/rally to demand a raise of the minimum wage in Pennsylvania with 1Hood*\, Pennsylvanians Together\, PA\, OneFairWage\, SEIU PA\, PA United\, Pennsylvania Policy Center\, AFSCME\, and Keystone Progress on Thursday\, August 29\, at 11a.m.\nPennsylvania has not raised its minimum wage since 2009. Since 2014\, however\, 30 states and Washington\, DC\, have increased their minimum wage\, including every state that borders Pennsylvania. While for 15 years the minimum wage in Pennsylvania has remained stagnant\, the cost of basic necessities like healthcare\, childcare\, housing\, utilities\, and food have all risen.\nFor over a year\, Senator Devlin Robinson\, chair of the Senate Labor and Industry Committee\, has failed to advance minimum wage legislation HB1500\, which passed out of the PA House in 2023. With only a few days left in this legislative session\, it is time to get HB1500 passed out of the PA Senate and to the Governor’s desk. Labor partners\, community advocates\, and local leaders will be united in demanding that Senator Robinson advance this important legislation so we can finally raise the wage.\n*1Hood Power is a social advocacy 501 (c)4 organization committed to building and demonstrating power in western PA’s Black communities.\n\nHave accessibility questions?
