Let's Raise the Minimum Wage across the North Bay!

TAKE ACTION TODAY TO HELP RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE ACROSS THE NORTH BAY! NBJwJ Supporters: The Fight for $15 is sweeping across the country and NBJwJ is leading the fight for a REGIONAL $15 per hour minimum wage across the entire North Bay. We are actively working with City Councils to schedule study sessions and pass local ordinances in these North Bay cities: Santa Rosa, Novato, Sonoma, Petaluma, Cotati, and Sebastopol.
