The Fairness Project is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that was founded in 2015 to advocate raising the minimum wage in the United States through the ballot initiative process.

Background

The Fairness Project was founded in October 2015 in order to help states achieve higher minimum wages. The Fairness Project has also worked on ballot initiative campaigns that proposed paid sick leave in Washington, Arizona, Michigan, and San Antonio.[1][2]

In 2017, the organization also began working to influence the conversation about Medicaid. They contributed to a Maine campaign calling for the state to provide Medicaid services through MaineCare for persons under the age of 65 and with incomes equal to or below 138 percent of the federal poverty line.[3]

As of 2023, The Fairness Project wrote, "We’ve won 31 of our 33 ballot measures to raise wages, stop predatory payday lenders, expand health care access, secure more paid time off, and other life-changing policies for more than 18 million people."[4]

Campaign services

The Fairness Project listed the following campaign services on its website as of 2021:[5]

“
  • Developing data models that enabled campaigns to reach and mobilize voters who would be most impacted by and most likely to vote for the initiatives, especially women and people of color.
  • Providing critical ongoing services throughout the campaigns, such as overall strategy, research, data analytics, and digital support in direct partnership with the state-based campaigns.
  • Conducting opinion research in partnership with the states to develop winnable ballot language and clear messaging to help drive campaigns
  • Generating media coverage that gave greater viability to the campaigns; elevating the issues to make sure they were in the public discourse leading up to election day;and encouraging candidates for office to take a position on the initiative.
  • Sharing best practices on what worked across the country.
  • Counseling campaigns facing difficult challenges during various phases of the campaigns.
  • Deploying staff to states to provide on-the-ground support.
  • Building support from business leaders to negate opposition by showing that higher wages are good for business.
  • Investing early through partnerships with state-based, grassroots organizations.

Work

The Fairness Project seeks to utilize the ballot initiative process to address issues concerning taxes and income in the United States. The group donates money to and supports ballot measure campaigns seeking to raise wages and partners with state and local organizations with similar objectives.[1] Regarding the group's goal of a higher minimum wage, Fairness Project Executive Director Ryan Johnson said in 2015, "In each of these states we are working hard to build a small-business coalition, making sure that their voice is part of the process. In general, we believe that raising the minimum wage creates a positive feedback cycle. More money in the pockets of workers mean that people are willing to buy. … We think it’s likely to create jobs."[1]

In a 2014 memo, Dave Regan, the founder of The Fairness Project, said, "Ballots are an opportunity to put a question, in its undiluted form, in front of millions of people. As opposed to traditional legislative work, where things get watered down to get out of committee, you end up with what you actually want when you use the ballot."[7]

As of 2021, on its website, The Fairness Project listed the following goals:[5]

“
  • Building a Movement to Support Working Families at the Ballot Box
  • Opening Up a New Front in the Fight for Health Care
  • Standing Up for Economic Fairness
  • Winning Leave Policies that Support American Families

2021 Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign

On October 7, 2021, The Fairness Project announced a $5 million campaign called the Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign. Kelly Hall, Executive Director of The Fairness Project, said, "The assault on our democracy is highly organized, well-funded and unrelenting. While others are focused on fighting back against voter disenfranchisement and gerrymandering, the Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign will confront extremist politicians attempting to undermine citizen access to ballot measures. Where we need to bring litigation, we will litigate. Where we can stop bad laws from being passed, we will run aggressive communications and lobbying campaigns to stop anti-democratic bills. And where the legislature refers suppressive measures to the ballot, we will fight to win those ballot campaigns."[8]

The Fairness Project listed the following organizations as partners in the campaign:[8]
