Universal Living Wage Campaign

Tonight on the show we have Richard Troxell from the Universal Living Wage Campaign. ULW cares that ALL workers are able to afford housing. 42% of America’s homeless work every week. However, these same workers are part of the 10.1 million in our country who make minimum wage. Even by the government’s own standards of what wages should afford for workers, minimum wage is not enough to support millions of Americans. Richard will be discussing the issue with us and the work that ULW and its allies have undertaken to make the minimum wage in the United States sufficient to afford housing, food, and the basic needs of every family.
