Cost of living climbs, but wages stay the same. The choice between groceries or school clothes gets harder. Are you riding the sickness out because you can't afford to see a doctor with rent coming up? These aren't choices anyone should have to make. You DESERVE a living wage. You DESERVE healthcare. You DESERVE housing. Your boss isn't "broke", you're being robbed. We're here to stop the robbery.
