With the demand for a $15 per hour minimum wage sweeping the nation, the Tacoma City Council will have the chance to join the movement of cities taking meaningful action to address growing inequality on Tuesday, October 14th. Tacoma 15 Now – a chapter of a grassroots national movement with campaigns in more than 20 cities – will be delivering more than 1,000 signatures to the City Council’s monthly Citizen Forum. They are petitioning that Tacoma adopt a $15 minimum wage ordinance. Tacoma 15 Now spokesperson Katelyn Driskill says, "After months of talking to people in the streets and in public meetings, it’s clear that Tacomans overwhelmingly support a $15 per hour minimum wage."
