Over 30,000 Illinois children and adults rely on Medicaid for healthcare and long-term services and supports. Without Medicaid, Illinois has no network of supports to help individuals live, recreate, and work in their communities. #SaveMedicaid

To keep the promise of community living for people with I/DD a reality, we must invest in—not divest from—the Medicaid program. @RepLaHood, we urge you to reject cuts to Medicaid and protect I/DD services: ancor.org/amplifier. #SaveMedicaid
Thank you @GovPritzker for proclaiming September 8-14 as Illinois Direct Support Professionals Week!! We our proud of our collective work recognizing the crucial role of DSPs to the lives of Illinoisans with disabilities! #DSPRW2024
The Dignity in Pay Act will ensure Illinoisans with disabilities won't earn less than minimum wage, invests in supportive employment, and increases the PNA for CILA residents. It's time to move these proposals forward in Illinois.

ATTN: These charts show where #Illinois DSP Wage is now and where it must be with the Guidehouse Rate Study & HB4806/SB3764 - @GovPritzker FY25 budget puts DSP wage rate % of min wage below 2022 levels
@ILSenDems @ILSenateGOP @HouseDemsIL @ilhousegop
Progress is being made, but challenges in DD services remain. Can #Illinois risk this progress by going least two consecutive years with no increases? HB 4806/SB 3764 would finally achieve a DSP wage rate of 150% of the min wage. @ILSenDems @ILSenateGOP @HouseDemsIL @ilhousegop
