On Friday, we’ll turn in our signatures to the Oakland City Clerk’s office. We will be holding a press conference beforehand on the City Hall steps and we’d like you to be there.
When our signatures are validated, we will be the first community-run campaign to qualify a ballot initiative in Oakland in five years. That’s quite an accomplishment.
We know that the only way toward raising the minimum wage regionally is for Oakland to lead the way. The damaging proposal in Richmond and the watered down measure in Berkeley shows that only by direct citizen action can we lift up our communities and create a wage were workers can make ends meet.
Thank you again for your efforts. Together we will raise Oakland’s minimum wage to the 12.25 an hour, require paid sick days, and make sure service fees reach the workers performing the service.
