This Valentine's Day tell local officials to lead with their Hearts!

Livable Wages: The Heart of San Diego's Vision for New Development

Good, middle-class jobs paying livable wages should be the heart of San Diego's plan for future development. Yet Mayor Jerry Sanders has removed the vision of livable wages from a proposed update of the General Plan, our city's guideline for development decisions. A council committee agreed with CPI and restored livable wages as a goal, but the battle is not over; the full council will vote on March 3rd. Join CPI, Progressive San Diego and countless other organizations and send a letter to your local officials.

Send Mayor Sanders and the City Council a Valentine's message, click here. Tell them we want a city that values workers and expects new developments to help build the middle class.

Dear Mr. Davis:

Thank you for contacting our office regarding the Economic Prosperity Element of the City of San Diego's General Plan. I appreciate your taking the time to express your position on this important issue.

I have always been a strong supporter of a living wage and believe it to be a crucial component of the City's long-term economic development strategy.

Thank you again for your thoughts. I will carefully review all constituent input when this matter comes before Council.

Sincerely,
TONI ATKINS
Councilmember, Third District
