Del Poor People s Campaign pushes $15 minimum wage

WHYY By Kathleen Sturgis loved her job linking people with social services and charitable agencies in Delaware. Then she came down with diverticulitis last fall and lost her job. Now her modest savings are gone. “At this time, I’m the one that needs help,’’ Sturgis said. “So I’ve had to reach out to organizations to help pay my electric bill. Now I’m looking at how I’m going to pay my rent. It’s a struggle from one day to the next.” Sturgis is among more than 400,000 Delawareans more than 40% of the population struggling financially, according to the Delaware Poor People’s Campaign. The campaign is part of a national effort to address systemic racism and poverty.
