Our Experts – including Alice – are dedicated to bringing together elected officials, stakeholders, policy wonks, activists and issue experts to travel the high road. The materials in this package come in large part from the past hard work of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the Economic Policy Institute, the  Center for Policy Alternatives and the AFL-CIO.  The Service Center would like to thank these groups for mapping out the high road on raising minimum wage in the states.

If you have any questions about increasing the minimum wage in your state, we want to help.  You can either  Ask Alice or contact the top issue experts listed below.
