Try-fold pamphlet cover reads: "How the City of Los Angeles Subsidizes Poverty and How the Taxpayers End Up Paying for It." It features two images - one the downtown LA skyline, the other an elderly grandmother and her grand baby.

Living Wage Campaign pamphlet (c. 1996) links low wages to corporate tax subsidies. The Tourism Industry Development Council (later LAANE) provided the strategic framing for the successful campaign.
