MUCH OF THIS ENGAGEMENT IS UNPAID, AND PART OF OUR COMMUNITY BUILDING AND ADVOCACY. OCCASIONALLY, SOME GROUPS NEED A MORE DETAILED ENGAGEMENT THAT TAKES CONSIDERABLY MORE STAFF TIME. IN THESE CASES, THEY CONTRACT US FOR ADVICE, GUIDANCE, AND HELP THEM BUILD THEIR OWN LIVING WAGE EFFORTS OR TO BRING ABOUT GREATER UNITY WITHIN THE MOVEMENT.
