Help Fund Our Economic Justice Fight
A majority of D.C. City Council just sold out Black residents to the greedy restaurant industry. Every majority Black ward in the city voted in favor of Initiative 77, which would have provided a living wage to tipped workers. It passed in the district by a 10-point margin, but the D.C. Council chose to listen to restaurant industry lobbyists instead of voters, and overturned the election results.
Color Of Change doesn’t shy away from difficult fights. We know that the road to fair and just wages in DC, is long, but we will continue to stand with Black workers until one fair wage is a reality for all. We know that every fight is an opportunity to emphasize the issues and voices that matter to Black communities.
We may not have the outcome we wanted in D.C., but we’re just getting started. We’re working with low-wage workers in DC and all across the country to fight for a living wage, and increased protections so that workers can be free from harassment and have safe working conditions. This is the only way we’re going to see the systemic change we want, but it’s not going to happen overnight. We need your support to help us continue this fight.
