Hundreds are expected to march in Downtown Lansing today, continuing to fight for a hike in the minimum wage.
Workers, church and community leaders will rally at the State Capitol asking for the wage to be bumped up to $15 an hour.
Michigan's minimum wage will go up again in about four months, in about 4 months eventually reaching $9.25 an hour by 2018, but those marching in Lansing today say that is not enough.
They have dubbed today "Moral Monday" calling on lawmakers to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
Currently, the minimum wage in Michigan is $8.50 an hour.
In January, it will be bumped up to $8.90 an hour, and by January of 2018, it will reach the $9.25 an hour mark.
There was already an minimum wage increase in January of this year, the wage went from $8.15 to the current $8.50 an hour, ranking Michigan 14th in the country in minimum wage rates.
But, those increases haven't stopped people from protesting statewide.
Those who plan to rally this morning at the State Capitol also say many people who are earning minimum wage are minorities.
In Michigan, local governments cannot boost minimum wage higher than what the state sets.
Marchers are also demanding racial justice and the right to form unions without interference.
The Moral Monday March begins around 10:30 or 11 a.m. at the State Capitol building.
