2. Black Work Matters
All low wage workers, just like any other employee, deserve a safe work
environment and living wage. Black workers make up a disproportionate
percentage
of all low wage workers. Nearly 80 percent of these workers
are the sole breadwinners for their families and the average age
of these workers is 28 years old.

3. Fight For $15
BlackWorkMatters. In a push for racial justice, protesters took to the streets in
cities across the country — from New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Sacramento
and New Orleans — to demand a $15 per hour minimum wage and the creation of
a union for fast food workers. Black Youth 100, a non-profit organization focused
on racial, social and economic freedom, released a video Monday explaining The
Black Work Matters campaign — also known as the Fight For $15 — which calls
attention to the disproportionate number of young black people who work in low
wage jobs and the experiences they have in these positions.

5. What can we do?
We could pitch in by spreading the awareness to our friends, neighbors and
strangers. Social media is also a huge trend to get people involved all over the the
world.
