President Barack Obama will make a trip to Ann Arbor on Wednesday, April 2, to show his support for a federal minimum wage hike.

The Detroit Free Press reported that The White House confirmed Obama's trip, but did not release information about the time or location of his appearance. More information will be released in upcoming days.

The event will rally support for Obama’s call to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Michigan’s current minimum wage is $7.40, while the federal minimum wage is $7.25.

Raise Michigan, a group dedicated toward raising Michigan’s minimum wage, is collecting signatures in an attempt to put a question of raising the minimum wage in the state to $10.10 before the state Legislature.

It will be Obama's third trip to Ann Arbor since being elected president. He was the commencement speaker during the University of Michigan's May 2010 graduation ceremony, and was also in the city in 2012 outlining his plans for college affordability.

Obama has enacted a bill that raised the federal minimum wage on new federal contracts to $10.01 per hour.
