Save the date! October 18th

7th Annual Poverty Under the Stars


The program of speakers, skits, and spoken word from minimum wage workers, labor leaders, and student organizers, and other leaders. From 6-8pm followed by a sleepout until 9am! Be in solidarity with the 46 million Americans living in poverty and 40,000 minimum wage workers in San José. This event will be focused on Measure D and garnering support for it! 

You are encouraged to set up a tent and decorate it with visual images/posters about issues you are concerned about this election, or social justice, and/or the minimum wage initiative support as well! If you can camp out, that would be great, but if not you could loan out your tent for the night for students to use to sleep in. You are encouraged to set up a tent and decorate it with visual images/posters about issues you are concerned about this election, or social justice, and/or the minimum wage initiative support as well!

San Jose Minimum Wage Campaign Volunteers needed.  Want to help make a real difference?  With your help we can raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 per hour and get one step closer to a proper living wage in San Jose.  Join us today!


  • A worker who brings home $1380 a month can’t afford San Jose’s average rent, which is $1800 a month, much less food and other necessities.
  • Because people who work hard should be able to support themselves rather than relying on government subsidies like food stamps and Medicaid.
  • City life is expensive, earning a decent wage makes sense for both consumers and businesses alike.
