Carolyn Harding with Mariah Ross, Ballot Initiative Director at One Fair Wage, Ohio.
Mariah Ross has worked in progressive politics for the past 10 years. Growing up on the east side of Cleveland in Glenville, she has a passion for economic justice, foreign policy and education. She focuses her work on turning out young voters and communities of color. Currently she is the Ballot Initiative Director at One Fair Wage, leading the campaign to raise the minimum wage and end subminimum wages for tipped workers, workers with disabilities, and youth.
The Raise the Wage Ohio ballot committee is working to put an initiative on the ballot for the November 2024 election in Ohio. The initiative would raise the state minimum wage to $15/hour, and end subminimum wages for tipped workers, workers with disabilities, and youth. The initiative is being driven by a large coalition of organizations, led by One Fair Wage, Ohio Organizing Collaborative, Red Wine and Blue, and many more groups at the intersection of community, labor and faith.
