Seventh Annual San Francisco Living Wage Coalition’s Awards Dinner

The San Francisco Living Wage Coalition was born out of Labor’s efforts
to work with the community in organizing non-union workers. These
efforts included using legislative strategies to improve their wages and
working conditions, building a workers movement and creating the
conditions for unionizing. Our efforts initiated a movement that led to
wage and benefit laws that are unique to San Francisco and, in
conjunction with unions, organizing drives and collective bargaining
agreements for low-wage workers.

The Living Wage Coalition’s current work includes workshops and
campaigns to educate people on a Five Point Program to reverse income
inequality, including protecting and expanding union and public sector
jobs; ending mass incarceration by the criminal injustice system;
stopping the repressive immigration system; fixing a broken
welfare-to-work system; and replacing free trade with fair trade. This
popular education on common sense economics undercuts the demagoguery of
the Liar-in-Chief Trump and builds resistance to his policies of
increased repression and injustice.

We are holding our Seventh Annual San Francisco Living Wage Coalition’s
Awards Dinner on Friday, July 21, during the month-long Labor Fest that
commemorates the 1934 General Strike. At 6 p.m., there will be a
reception, and at 6:30 p.m. a dinner and program, with cultural and
musical performances.

We will be presenting the Labor Woman of the Year Award to Lita Blanc,
President of United Educators of San Francisco, and the Labor Man of
the Year Award to Michael Theriault, Secretary-Treasurer of the San
Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council.

Ticket prices are $40 per seat in advance or a group rate of $300
for eight seats in advance if bought before July 19, or $50 per seat at
