Minimum Wage

We did it!

On November 6th, 2012, 178,123 San Jose voters cast their ballot on behalf of the working poor in our community to raise the minimum wage to $10/hour. Measure D won by a 60% to 40% margin despite being outspent by 2 to 1! This  groundbreaking grassroots initiative succeeded because of volunteers like you.   Thank you!

PRECINCT WALKS: Volunteers walked on 6 weekends in September, October, and November. 

PHONE BANKS: We phoned thousands of voters over 10 nights in October and November.

WHAT'S NEXT: We will celebrate, reflect on what we learned over this campaign and talk about next steps:
