LET JUSTICE ROLL LIVING WAGE DAYS JANUARY 10 & 11, 2009
Please JOIN US in LIVING WAGE DAYS WORSHIP SERVICES AND COMMUNITY EVENTS in JANUARY 2009. Let Justice Roll has sponsored hundreds of Living Wage Days services and events across the country to build crucial support for raising the minimum wage in the states and winning the first federal minimum wage raise in ten years. January 2009 is a vital time to take nationwide action again with Let Justice Roll LIVING WAGE DAYS SERVICES AND EVENTS to inspire, educate and mobilize support for raising the minimum wage to a living wage at the local, state and federal level.
We invite you to reach out to everyone, including both workers and business people, in your congregations, organizations and communities to participate in Living Wage Days. Raising the minimum wage is good for workers, families, business, communities and our economy.
Please let us know if you can host or co-host a Let Justice Roll LIVING WAGE DAY worship service or event on January 10 or January 11, 2009. Sign up below or contact Jennifer Kottler at rev.jen.kottler@letjusticeroll.org or phone 773-960-8960.
