International Workers’ Day, often called May Day, is typically celebrated on May 1 by countries around the globe, honoring the collective strength of laborers and the working classes, their rights as workers, and their critical contributions to their countries’ economies.
The Fight for $15 is an American movement advocating for the federal minimum wage to be raised to $15 per hour. The federal minimum wage was set at $7.25 per hour in 2009, and it has not been increased since.
This is a family-friendly event and seniors eat free. Suggested contribution is $15/person. I would love to see you and your family!

Campaign update:
Our signature drive to place my name on the ballot was successful! Thank you to those who volunteered your time to capture those signatures, and a BIG thank you to the 1000 people who signed!
The next stage of the campaign is about to begin. We want to know what's important to you so we'll be knocking on your door to talk to you, maybe about public education, neighborhood development, or transportation and parking; you tell us! We can't wait to have these direct conversations with you in order to better serve you.
If you'd like to help us reach as many residents as possible, put on your walking shoes to canvass. Hosting a meet & greet in the comfort of your living room with your neighbors and friends is a great opportunity to build community. We're also planning phone banks on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
There are lots of ways to get involved, all listed here.
Until I see you,
Lydia
