Federal legislation to mandate all state minimum wages must keep up with cost of living

We’re fighting on multiple fronts in terms of the federal, state, and municipal minimum wage. Would it make more sense to fight that there be a federal law that each state must have a minimum wage that matches its cost of living? I know because it would be based an averages, it would be biased against people living in urban higher col areas, which in many states are people of color. But at least it would raise the minimum wage across the board and make states responsible for adjusting it to inflation? Thoughts?
