The Huffington Post, February 18, 2017: My Fight For $15 Is About Black Futures

“Later, I sat in the very first meeting for the Fight for 15 with some of my coworkers. We wanted better pay, and we wanted a lot more fixed in our workplace. People were getting burned at work and their hours were cut without reason or warning. We’d been letting these corporations give us the bare minimum for too long. It was time to stop letting them tell us what we should have, and start speaking out for what we need. Only we can decide that. In that first meeting we agreed that we had to declare what we wanted – a $15 wage and union rights.”
