Join us to help vote Ohio workers a raise in 2024!

In Ohio, 1.2 million workers earn less than $15 an hour, and there are subminimum wages for tipped workers (still $5.05 an hour), workers with disabilities, and youth. The subminimum wage for tipped workers forces a workforce that is in majority women, disproportionately women of color, to struggle with the highest rates of economic instability and sexual harassment of any sector because they must tolerate inappropriate customer behavior to get tips. 

Thankfully, we have a chance to change all of this in November 2024, when Ohioans will have a chance to vote to raise the statewide minimum wage to $15 with tips on top for all workers, including tipped workers, workers with disabiliites, and youth. Equally as importantly, this initiative will drive at least 100,000 new, unlikely voters, largely youth and people of color, to the polls to ‘vote themselves a raise’ and vote for candidates who support that raise while they are at the ballot box. 

The success of our campaign depends on raising the funds necessary to win the fight for One Fair Wage.
