On April 10, 2010, former workers, shareholders, customers, and concerned community members walked through the front doors of Abundance Cooperative Market, on one of their busiest days of the month, to celebrate workers and initiate a living wage campaign. Cake, balloons, party hats, noise makers, signs, a giant novelty check with Rochester's living wage rate written on it, and a living wage resolution for people to sign to be submitted to the board of directors, were used to create the celebratory atmosphere of the action.
