Livelihoods in Coffee Episode #2: Living Wage / Living Income - The Concepts
Update: Episode recorded on Thursday, July 8.
The Livelihoods in Coffee webinar series continues this Thursday, July 8.
Livelihoods in Coffee is an ongoing conversation within our community. In the second episode of this series we are joined by Michelle Murray, founder and CEO of Living Wage for US. Michelle will be talking with the Barista Guild as an internationally renowned expert on living wage and living income. She will walk us through the concepts and ideas behind these terms, and show us how we can apply them to our own livelihoods.
Michelle Murray is the founder and CEO of Living Wage for US, a US-based national living wage certification platform and community of knowledge around living wages. She has been supported heavily in this work by Oxfam America (the organizational incubator and fiscal sponsor) and the UK Living Wage Foundation.
Michelle has nearly a decade of experience leading on issues of living wages and incomes through her consultancy, On-Up LLC and in her past role managing the work of the Global Living Wage Coalition. Much of Michelle’s work centers on tying research to action by managing and providing technical backstopping for living wage/income studies, gaining global and country specific acceptance of living wage/income benchmarks, implementing living wage/income requirements and strategies, supporting the development of living wage certification systems or requirements in existing sustainability standards systems, and moving entire industries toward living wage and living income targets through advocacy and multi-stakeholder engagement.
