The San Francisco Living Wage Coalition was born out of Labor’s efforts
to work with the community in organizing non-union workers. These
efforts included using legislative strategies to improve their wages and
working conditions, building a workers movement and creating the
conditions for unionizing. Our efforts initiated a movement that led to
trail-blazing local wage and benefit laws and, in conjunction with
unions, organizing drives and collective bargaining agreements.

The Living Wage Coalition’s current work are workshops and campaigns to
organize workers and educate the community on a Five Point Program to
reverse income inequality, including protecting and expanding union and
public sector jobs; ending mass incarceration by the penal system;
stopping the repressive immigration system; fixing a broken
welfare-to-work system; and replacing free trade with fair trade.

Tickets – $35 per ticket in advance or a group rate of $250 for eight
tickets in advance bought before July 17.
Tickets are for a Zoom link and take-out dinner. We have special sponsorship levels and congratulations in the printed program if received by July 14.
