Fight for $15

Fight for $15 is a social movement advocating for raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour in the United States. It began in 2012, primarily driven by fast-food workers who sought to improve their wages and working conditions. The movement highlights the struggles of low-income workers to afford basic living expenses, emphasizing the need for fair pay in an economy where many jobs do not provide a living wage. Supporters aim to address economic inequality, improve job standards, and ensure that all workers receive a wage that reflects the rising cost of living.
