We believe that it's time Ohioans get the raise they deserve. A $8.55 minimum wage simply isn't enough to get by. Our goal is to pass a ballot initiative that will:

• Increase the state minimum wage rate to $9.60 per hour on January 1, 2021.

• After January 1, 2021, increase the state minimum wage rate in equal increments annually for four years to reach $13 per hour on January 1, 2025.

• After January 1, 2025, annually adjust the state minimum wage rate for inflation, consistent with the existing language.
