Los Angeles' hotel and airport workers are struggling to survive. Their wages are hardly enough to keep up with skyrocketing rent, or to secure quality family healthcare. As Jewish Angelenos and interfaith allies, we know that low-wage workers are indispensable members of our communities, whose vibrancy is dimmed when people aren't paid enough to survive.
Our elected officials must strive towards righting the injustice placed on the city’s tourism workers and the inequity of their low wages, by passing the Tourism Workers Living Wage Ordinance as soon as possible!
On Tisha b'Av, the saddest day of the Jewish calendar, people of all faiths will come together for sacred rituals of mourning and action in Downtown Los Angeles, joining in solidarity to pass the Tourism Workers Living Wage Ordinance. Please join us!
