Socialist minimum wage forum
A bill seeking to raise Wyoming's minimum wage to $15 an hour was recently killed by the state legislature. But that doesn't mean the "fight for $15" is going away. The SE Wyoming Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are hosting a virtual forum on Thursday, March 11 2021, to discuss and make the case for raising the minimum wage. While the federal minimum wage is $7.25, Wyoming's minimum wage is $5.15.
The effort to raise the state minimum wage mirrors the national debate about the federal minimum wage, in which progressives argue that the current minimum of less than $8 an hour falls far short of what people and families need to survive.
Matt J. Stannard with the Southeast Wyoming DSA said Wyoming is no exception.
"Wyoming's minimum wage is tied for lowest in the country with Georgia," he said. "If you've lived here any length of time and really interacted with working people in Wyoming, and particularly in rural areas, you know that people cannot afford good places to live."
Forum attendees will hear from local organizers, as well as Wyoming State Sen. Mike Gierau and Seattle "Fight for $15" organizer Jason Call.[1]
DSA endorsement
Snohomish County Democratic Socialists of America December 2, 2019 ·
SnoCo DSA has endorsed Jason Call, a candidate running for Washington's second congressional district against long-term incumbent Rick Larsen. Our county deserves a representative that fights for the people.
Businesses that work to profit off of sick and injured people will always cause suffering. Only Call wants to actually fix that problem with Medicare for All, while Larsen still believes in the ACA, which was insufficient under Obama and continues to be insufficient now.
