This evening, our hard work paid off. The NYS Assembly passed a minimum wage increase to $9, plus indexing. While we are ecstatic to see the bill moving forward, these next few weeks are critical. We need to see this bill move through the Senate and onto the Governor’s desk, and the only way this will happen is with your support. This Friday, on International Women’s Day, please come to our press conference with Assemblymember Michaelle Solages, urging the Senate to act now to pass a minimum wage increase.
Friday, March 8th at 9:00am
