Today, June 2, Oakland and California voters have the opportunity to use one of the most powerful freedoms we have, the freedom to vote.

This right was fought for, marched for, protected, and passed down by those who understood that our voices shape our future. From our schools to our neighborhoods, from public safety to wages, housing, and the cost of living, the decisions made at the ballot box impact our everyday lives.

As Oakland continues the fight for a real living wage and fair working conditions, voting is one way we make it clear that working people deserve to live, not just survive.

Polls close at 8 PM. Make your voice heard. 🗳️✊🏾

Full-time work should be enough to live with dignity.

Across Oakland and Alameda County, workers are doing everything they’re supposed to do, yet rising rent, groceries, gas, and basic costs keep pushing stability further out of reach.

That’s why the Living Wage for All Campaign is fighting for a $30 minimum wage by 2030. This measure is rooted in the real experiences of workers across our region, and it’s a step toward the stability our communities deserve.
