Raise the Wage

Today’s minimum wage is not enough to live on. It’s time to raise the wage so hardworking Oregonians can pay the bills – and our economy works for all of us.

Your contribution will help us win the fight and raise the wage for hardworking Oregonians statewide. Make a contribution today.

Take the pledge

The economic recovery since the Great Recession has been good for big business, but has left low-wage workers behind. Currently, Oregonians working full-time for the minimum wage make less than $20,000 per year – and no matter what community you live in, $1,600 a month is not enough to live on.

Together we can Raise the Wage to lift up half a million hardworking Oregonians struggling to make ends meet and grow the economy for all of us.

I pledge to stand strong for Oregon workers by: [email protected]

  • Advocating to Raise the Wage to at least $13.50
  • Pushing to restore power to cities & towns to address low wages
  • Saying no to second rate wages for farmworkers and restaurant workers
