The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to approve a $15 an hour minimum wage, becoming the largest U.S. city to adopt a living wage.

The ordinance would boost the $9 an hour base wage to $15 by 2020 for as many as 800,000 workers. Los Angeles now joins Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle, which have already adopted similar laws.

Advocates were quick to praise the 14-1 vote, calling it a “huge” boost for the country’s growing workers’ rights movement.

Albina Ardon, a McDonald’s employee from Los Angeles and a member of the minimum wage advocacy group Fight for $15 LA, said that the win illustrates the power of grassroots organizing and paves the way for other cities to pass living wage laws.

“People used to think we had no chance, but we are steadily winning the fight by demanding $15 an hour to lift our families out of poverty,” Ardon said. “If we can win $15 in one of America’s most populous cities we know it will give momentum to workers around the country who are fighting for the same thing.”

“People like me, who work hard for multibillion-dollar corporations like McDonald’s, should not have to rely on food stamps to survive,” she continued. Ardon, a mother of two and ten year employee of McDonald’s, currently makes $9.95 an hour. The vote comes amid a growing push by workers and anti-poverty advocates for U.S. cities to protect workers amid a growing wealth gap.
