in it.

Wage Days Event
Sampler
Please
JOIN US in LIVING WAGE DAYS WORSHIP SERVICES
AND COMMUNITY EVENTS in OCTOBER. Last
January, over the Martin Luther King Holiday Weekend,
Let Justice Roll sponsored hundreds of Living
Wage Days services and events across the country.
Now, it's time to take nationwide action
again with Let Justice Roll LIVING WAGE
DAYS SERVICES AND EVENTS to inspire, educate and
mobilize support for raising the minimum wage
at the federal and state level as well as local
living wage campaigns.
We
invite you to reach out to everyone, including
both workers and business people, in your congregations,
organizations and communities to participate in
Living Wage Days. Raising the minimum wage is
good for workers, families, business, communities
and our economy.
Please
let us know if you can host or co-host a Let Justice
Roll LIVING WAGE DAY worship service or event
during the weekend of either October 7-8 or October
14-15. Sign up below or contact Paul
Sherry.

"A
Just Minimum Wage: Good For Workers, Business
and Our Future," counters
all the arguments against raising the minimum
wage and offers vital new insight into why the
minimum wage is so important. It shows that raising
the minimum wage is an economic imperative for
the enduring strength of our workforce, businesses,
communities and economy, as well as a moral imperative
for the very soul of our nation.
