On Wednesday, demonstrators from across the country will gather to demand the United States raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour. In one of the largest low-wage worker actions in North Carolina, protestors will gather in Raleigh at the Shaw University Quad, 118 E South Street, in an effort to draw attention to the need for a higher minimum wage as well as several other causes. The #Fightfor15 hashtag is being used to represent the demand for living wages, the right to unionize and lower student debt, among other causes. The protest is being held on April 15 at 5 p.m.
