ACTION ALERT: Give Now to the Living Wage Campaign!

From Albuquerque City Councilor Martin Heinrich and the Living Wage Campaign:

WE DID IT!  The Living Wage Initiative will be on the ballot October 4th. With the help of hundreds of progressive activists we collected more than 30,000 signatures to place the initiative on the ballot.

Across the country, Republicans and Independents are voting for a cause dear to progressives and associated closely with Democrats -- a higher minimum wage.

Supporters of the Albuquerque Living Wage Campaign are working hard every day to pass the initiative which would increase the minimum wage to $7.50 an hour.

But we need your help today as we gear up for a tough campaign against big business anti-worker special interests. Contribute Today at the Albuquerque Living Wage Campaign!

The Living Wage Ordinance will help lift tens of thousands of low wage workers out of poverty and off of the welfare rolls, pumping millions of dollars into the local economy.

70% of Albuquerque voters support a higher minimum wage because they believe that if someone works 40 hours, we should value their contribution to society. 

Please lend us your support today.  Contribute Today at the Albuquerque Living Wage Campaign.  If you would like to hold a house party in your neighborhood to spread the word please call us 242-7411 or email us at nmacorn@acorn.org. The election is only two months away.

Help the hardest working workers; and help us forge a more powerful, effective, progressive movement.  In Albuquerque, at least, it's safe to say that we believe a day's work should earn you a wage you can live on.
