Raise the Minimum Wage in Minneapolis to $15

Petition Text

We the undersigned demand that the minimum wage in Minneapolis be raised to a livable wage of $15 and that it be tied to inflation, both immediately.

Why is this important?

Recently the minimum wage in Minnesota was raised from $7.25 to $9.50 by 2016 and tied to inflation by 2018. This is unacceptable. By 2018 a minimum wage of $9.50 tied to inflation will be no more beneficial than a $7.25 minimum wage tied to inflation today. The nearly 300,000 low-wage workers in Minneapolis cannot support themselves and their families on anything less.
