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.

Who We Are

A united front to Raise the Wage.

We’re fighting to Raise the Wage because we believe no one who works full-time should live in poverty.

The Raise the Wage coalition is a growing group of workers, businesses, and community groups who have come together to raise up all of Oregon by giving workers a much-needed raise. We’re united by the common belief that Oregonians who work hard and play by the rules should be able to feed their families and pay their bills. To ensure that our economy works for all of us, it is critical that Oregon restore local control to allow communities to set a higher minimum wage above and beyond the statewide floor.

Raise the Wage has come together to:

  • Advocate to Raise the Wage to at least $13.50
  • Push to restore power to cities and towns to address low wages
  • Say no to race-to-the-bottom policies like sub-standard wages and exceptions for farmworkers and restaurant workers
