SUMMARY:UUs Together: Fair Wage Campaign OHIO!!  virtual meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join UUs Together virtually this month to learn about the Fair Wage campaign in Ohio. Haven’t heard of it? All the more reason to join us. This is a proposed constitutional amendment\, currently gathering signatures (the same process as the anti-gerrymanding/fair districts campaign). Learn about this movement to raise the minimum wage (note: if the minimum wage had kept pace with inflation and increased worker productivity since 1968\, it would be over $24 an hour)\, and abolish the tipped wage\, among other things.  \n\n\n\nWe will view a small portion of a very informative video\, and hear from Mariah Ross\, organizer for the Fair Wage campaign\, and Grace Heffernan\, Northeast Ohio Worker Center\, which partners with Collaborate Cleveland on the Pay Equity campaign. \n\n\n\nSee you on Monday March 25 from 7-8:30pm virtually!Bring your questions! \n\n\n\nTopic: UUs Together February meetingTime: Mar 25\, 2024 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86037193106?pwd=eTZkMUZHQXltSStabzhrdEY3blpmUT09 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 860 3719 3106Passcode: 757500

SUMMARY:Immigrants: Burden\, Blessing\, Duty?
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: James Nichols\, and Dana Beveridge\, both Staff Attorneys\, Migration and Refugee Services\, Cleveland Catholic Charities.  \n\n\n\nMajor religions affirm a duty to the displaced. Our economy needs willing workers\, and we need the earnings of young workers to support our aging population. Yet the media focuses on the menace of unwelcome immigrants\, and support systems are overwhelmed by surges\, mostly from Latin America. It is not feasible for all those who’d like to move to America to do so. How should we respond?
