  Prop L will put $100 million into the pockets of low-wage workers in SF-especially Asians, Latinos, African-Americans, and youth. An increase in the minimum wage from $6.75 to $8.50 would help over 50,000 workers afford housing, rent, tuition, and health care! Who are the workers who will be affected by Prop L?

• More than 65% are San Francisco residents
• More than 40% are Asian American
• 20% Chinese
• 15% Filipino
• More than 20% are Latino
• 4,750 single parents of more than 7,100 children

• Approximately 25% of all homeless people in San Francisco are employed, but do not make enough money to find decent, affordable housing. An increase in the minimum wage would help the working poor and homeless get off the streets into stable housing.

• Nearly 17,000 workers under age 25 who are mostly students and youth of color.
