It is time to protect NYer's access to care. @GovKathyHochul NOW is the time to invest in Direct Support Wage Enhancement. #InvestInIDD #CareCantWait
"As state leaders, we must invest in the historically underfunded nonprofit I/DD provider sector and all those who provide essential care for the most vulnerable members of our community."
Thank you @Mannionfor50 and @Rebecca76AD for your unwavering advocacy!

"State leaders put the care and quality of life of New York's most vulnerable citizens up for negotiation. Their final agreement continues a pattern of neglect we've fought for decades to overcome"

We couldn’t agree more — representation matters. But so does resource stability, equity & accessibility. To truly show that NY values those with I/DD, the government must invest in the support systems that allow them to thrive, starting with an 8.5% COLA in this year's budget!
This is an important step for furthering inclusivity.
Representation matters, and New Yorkers are helping to lead the way!

WORD FROM ALBANY: The 8.5% COLA is in JEOPARDY
Call your legislators! Find their numbers here: p2a.co/DguTRde
Tell them OUR SYSTEM IS IN CRISIS!
Tell them New Yorkers with disabilities CANNOT BE NEGLECTED!
Tell them 8.5% Must be NON-NEGOTIABLE!!!!!!

Our leaders have the power to ensure New Yorkers with I/DD are safe, well-cared, and equipped with the resources they need to thrive. So why are so many being left behind?

New Yorkers with I/DD are being left behind. This is unacceptable.
@GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins it's time to take action NOW and include an 8.5% COLA increase for service providers in the final budget!
Call Kathy today!!!
Today we’re working the phones to tell @GovKathyHochul to remember people with disabilities during budget negotiations!
Go to cpstate.org/advocacy for a suggested script and numbers for the Gov and your local officials.

Thank you @MonicaPWallace for recognizing the value of DSPs!
Thank you @SenatorBrouk for your commitment!

NY's I/DD community is in crisis. Tell @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins:
Nonprofit service providers need AT LEAST an 8.5% COLA increase to maintain vital programs and services and recruit and retain staff. Anything less leaves our entire system in jeopardy.
