Call your Senators at [phone] and tell them to ensure there’s $400 billion for home and community-based services in the reconciliation package, just as @POTUS called for.

[ANCOR @TheRealANCOR]

@MarkWarner Home & Community Based Services are key to ensuring people w/ disabilities are included in the community, but #COVID19 has exacerbated a long-standing crisis in recruiting/retaining direct care workers. We need all $400B proposed by @POTUS for #Medicaid #HCBS!

[DDAWNY @DDAWNY_]

@SenSchumer you have been there for us! Please keep $400B in HCBS funding in the reconciliation package @peopleincnews

Non-profit provider associations, families and self-advocates urge the State to hold off on implementing cuts until a reasonable planning process is developed. We've long fought—and will keep fighting—for #CareNotCuts to protect the I/DD community.

Listen & share, share, share! "Cuomo administration cuts support to non-profits serving New Yorkers with disabilities" via @CapPressRoom https://t.co/LVmj3kYYZN @Cantalician @NYDisabilityAdv @DDAWNY_

[NYC FAIR @NYC_FAIR]

Cuts after a year of trauma for people w/IDD undermining the agencies we depend on. @NYGovCuomo @SenJohnMannion @AHRCNYC @AndreaSCousins the job of govt is to protect its citizens,not undermine supports for those who need them @IAC @iacwini @DanCGoldberg

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

The cuts to voluntary residential providers are harmful public policy, discouraging family visits and potentially reducing residential options statewide. We need #CareNotCuts

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

Thank you, @SenJohnMannion!

Our field and, more importantly, the people we serve, are worth including in the Governor's plan!

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

In today’s #SOTS2021 address, @NYGovCuomo announced ambitious plans for investing in our state’s infrastructure. We must also invest in infrastructure and innovation for the I/DD sector to ensure New Yorkers with I/DD receive the comprehensive services and supports they deserve.

Lou Ismay, 95-year-old emeritus professor @ualbany gave me this postcard a couple years ago. He has been warning people that Trump was fomenting fascism. We saw the results today.

It was three years ago that we lost my dad, but today was a good day. Today I was able to tell him “We did it”.
