Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance collection
Overview
This collection is made up of papers from the Kaw Valley Living Wage Alliance, including a disassembled scrapbook, newsletters, talking points and fact sheets, newspaper clippings, and a directory of local organizations. Founded in 2000, the informal alliance was a broad coalition of people who in 2003 convinced the City Commission of Lawrence, Kansas to require a living wage from firms receiving tax abatements. After this initial achievement, the organization focused on local housing needs and homelessness.
