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.
Forming ethical coalitions that stand for peace, human rights, the environment, social justice and prosperity.

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
