The Labor and Economic Justice Program at National Sierra Club has been involved in the Fight for $15 campaign.  If you are in Des Moines on Jan. 28, feel free to join in the rally.  Details are below.

At 5:00 pm, we'll begin to gather at Nollen Plaza at 221 Walnut in Downtown Des Moines.  The march begins at 5:30.  We'll march to the Iowa Events Center, where the Republican Debate is happening and have a short program and rally.  We'll leave around 7 or 7:30pm.

 

64 million Americans don't make $15 an hour at work. It's time we fight back. On Thursday, January 28, Republican Presidential candidates are holding a debate in Des Moines, Iowa. Be there with us to make it clear that low-wage workers will no longer be ignored. Iowa needs a raise. This is the year we tell candidates that we won't be taken for granted. Raise your voice to say "Come Get My Vote!"
