Full-time work should be enough to live with dignity.

Across Oakland and Alameda County, workers are doing everything they’re supposed to do, yet rising rent, groceries, gas, and basic costs keep pushing stability further out of reach.

That’s why the Living Wage for All Campaign is fighting for a $30 minimum wage by 2030. This measure is rooted in the real experiences of workers across our region, and it’s a step toward the stability our communities deserve.

These are not just headlines. This is our reality.

In a new feature by The Guardian, BOP members and leadership are naming what too many are living every day. Long hours. Multiple jobs. Still not enough.

As BOP’s Zach Norris shared, this is bigger than wages. It’s about whether our people can afford to stay in the Bay, and as BOP member Mark highlights, it can take 10–12 hour days just to make a paycheck feel worth it.

This is why we’re organizing for a Living Wage for All. One wage should be enough.
