Living Wage Campaign Launched

A local coalition of faith-based, political, labor and community organizations has launched a campaign to pass a living wage ordinance. Santa Barbara would become one of over 125 communities across the country to pass such a law. The ordinance would require both the city and major city contractors to pay a wage indexed to the cost of living.

We're gearing up to put pressure on our city council to do the right thing and pass the ordinance. For more information on the campaign, and the legal, economic and social issues involved, check out:
