LET
JUSTICE ROLL LIVING WAGE DAYS INVITATION
October
7-8, 14-15
The
Let Justice Roll Living Wage Campaign, a fast-growing
partnership of more than 80 faith, labor and community
groups working to raise the minimum wage at the
state and federal level, invites you to JOIN US
in LIVING WAGE DAYS WORSHIP SERVICES AND COMMUNITY
EVENTS IN OCTOBER. You are a critical component
in the success of the Living Wage Days and in
raising the minimum wage around the country.
We hope you will join us.
Last
January, over the Martin Luther King Holiday Weekend,
Let Justice Roll sponsored hundreds of Living
Wage Days services and events across the country,
including Arkansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, where
campaigns have already led to legislation increasing
state minimum wages.
Now,
it's time to take nationwide action again with
Let Justice Roll LIVING WAGE DAYS SERVICES AND
COMMUNITY EVENTS to inspire, educate and mobilize
support for raising the minimum wage at the federal
and state level. Legislative efforts to raise
the federal minimum wage are gaining strength
and a growing number of states have minimum wage
campaigns, including six states with ballot initiatives
coming to a vote this November: Arizona, Colorado,
Missouri, Montana, Nevada and Ohio.
We
hope that you will 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.
We
have a variety of RESOURCES at WWW.LETJUSTICEROLL.ORG
to assist you in preparing for Living Wage Days,
including:
• The newly Revised and Updated "Resources
for Living Wage Worship
Services and Community Events."
• "A
Just Minimum Wage: Good for Workers, Business
and Our Future." You can download the PDF
and/or order
perfect bound hard copies at DISCOUNTS of 25%
to 40% for distribution at Living Wage Days and
other events.
• The interactive "Just
Neighbors" Toolkit, designed to educate
and
empower congregations about poverty and wages,
is being offered at discount for Let Justice Roll.

or co-host a Living Wage Days event.
