With the election results pointing to the need to address the economic crisis working people are facing, promises by the National Restaurant Association to roll back the Biden Administration's protections for restaurant workers, and the potential for states to pass worker-friendly policy in the face of these challenges, our fight for fair wages is now more important than ever.

One Fair Wage seeks your generous support to fuel our work in 2025, which will include:

✨ Expanding our Winning Strategy:

Advance policy wins in Ohio, Illinois, Arizona, New York, and Maryland for wage increases for almost 3 million workers
Partner with worker allies, including responsible business owners, community leaders, and aligned organizations, to increase minimum wages and eliminate the subminimum wage

✨ Amplifying Worker Power:

Train thousands of new worker-leaders
Strengthen our digital organizing program to build lasting infrastructure for worker organizing

Elevate the voices and experiences of low-wage workers and the demand for increased wages
Conduct and disseminate groundbreaking research on the evolving challenges for low-wage workers

This quote from a worker in Illinois echoes what we are hearing in cities and states across the country and reminds us what is at stake:

“The minimum wage is supposed to be the minimum to stay afloat, comfortably. How can we pay rent, utilities, groceries, etc. when the national minimum wage is $7.25? When will we be able to live comfortably without having to work 3 jobs just to stay afloat?”

Please join the fight for fair wages by making a gift to our work. Thank you!
