Raise the Wage

2006

On April 27, 2006, we presented a show titled Raise the Wage at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Poems focused on wage issues such as pay equity, class gaps, and advocacy to raise the federal minimum wage. Poets included Tara Bracco, Erica R. DeLaRosa, Frantz Jerome, Sugar Johnson, Matthew Keuter, Chris Martin, Courtney E. Martin, and Jonathan Walton. This show was made possible with support from the Puffin Foundation.
