While Congress and state legislatures across the country remain paralyzed by partisan disagreement, ballot initiatives hold the promise of improving the lives of millions of Americans. The Fairness Project is bolstering state-based ballot initiative campaigns and driving a national narrative to elevate issues of economic fairness. By harnessing the power of successful ballot initiative campaigns, The Fairness Project is empowering voters to take direct action to change their own lives. In 2016, The Fairness Project will focus on ballot-initiative campaigns that seek to raise the minimum wage, working with partner organizations across the country to enact legislation through the ballot box to improve pay for millions of working people. Building this strong national platform will support our 2016 goal to win minimum wage campaigns in multiple states and localities and establish a base of support on other economic issues for years to come. The Fairness Project is well positioned for success because these issues are popular across all demographics. We will enable ballot-initiative campaigns to utilize data-driven campaign technology and create a national infrastructure that lives from one campaign cycle to the next. The Fairness Project is currently partnering with minimum wage Campaigns in California, Maine, and Washington, DC and will continue to add state partners moving forward.
