State Campaigns

The service sector is going through massive upheaval – millions of workers are refusing to work for subminimum wages, and thousands of responsible restaurants and other businesses are raising wages to recruit and retain staff – but all need policy change to support these efforts, create a level playing field, and signal to millions of workers that it is worth coming back to work. Through our 25 by 250 Campaign, One Fair Wage is moving legislation and ballot measures in 25 states to raise wages and end subminimum wages for millions of workers – and mobilize millions to vote in the process – by the United States’ 250th Anniversary (2026). Below are just a few of the many states that are currently moving campaigns to raise wages and end subminimum wages.
