NY's move to @PartnerwithPPL & close 100s of community-based agencies is proving a mess. Halfway thru transition, PPL has "completed or started" less than 8% of transitions for 300k older & PWD who need CDPAP to survive. Act to stop this pending crisis.

Today we are joining with @NYSHCP and @HCANYS in Albany to rally against @GovKathyHochul's proposal to eliminate all fiscal intermediaries in CDPA. Can you hear us???
@GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie independent Living advocates need you to do the right thing! Let disabled people have their care in their communities! Is this a look you really want to have represent the state? #CDPAIsEssential
At tomorrow's monthly meeting we'll be hearing an organizing case study from the one and only @SackmanBobbie - and discuss how we can build people power to win #FairPay4HomeCare and more!

BREAKING: @NYSA_Majority passed the Home Care Insurance Accountability Act, A7335, out of the Assembly Health Committee!
We are grateful for the determination and commitment of our AM sponsor @AmyPaulin to continue fighting for a more caring economy in our state.
TY for your continued support @CarlHeastie. Please hold the line for full funding of #FairPay4HomeCare. Home care workers, family caregivers and all NYers who need care are relying on you. Please don’t allow us to be left behind in this budget! 💜
@GovKathyHochul@MicronTech . #FairPay4HomeCare brings countless benefits for generations & lift entire communities out of poverty while providing critical svces to elderly & disabled.
Plus, instead of making rich white men richer it advances equity by investing in overwhelmingly poor black women.
“It is time we pay you what you deserve."
New York's Attorney General @TishJames recognizes the need to #RaiseUpNY and include #FairPay4HomeCare in the budget.
@GovKathyHochul its time for you to recognize the workers who make all other work possible

2022: @GovKathyHochul said "no" she is not letting private insurance companies keep millions of tax $$ meant for #FairPay4HomeCare
Lies
Today: We learn she is actively blocking our effort to ensure $$ gets to home care
@CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins hold the line!
LRC is fighting for #FairPay4HomeCare in honor of immigrant women and women of color homecare workers because they deserve to make a living wage! @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @GovKathyHochul, we need you to do the same!
More from our NY Director & @CaringMajority Co-Director @Ilanalee7 in @inthesetimesmag: “budgets are a reflection of the state’s priorities,”and Hochul’s budget represents a “prioritization of institutional care over home and community-based care.” https://t.co/c8X1gEf8gV
I am fighting for #FairPay4HomeCare in honor of Tracy Dudzinski, who has cared for hundreds of people over the years while doing side jobs to support her family. @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @GovKathyHochul you must pay home care workers a fair wage!
