NYC Spinal

Our mission is to connect people living with spinal cord injury or disease with the resources needed to maximize their independence and quality of life.

[NYS Senate Republicans @nysenategop]

CDPAP exists to help NY's most vulnerable citizens then the Governor sold it off to an out-of-state company now many who rely on the program are lost in the confusion and may end up without care. Care should come first!

[New York Association on Independent Living @NYAIL]

NYAIL, @MedicaidMtrsNY @elderjusticeny @NY_StateWide @empirejustice @LegalAidNYC @nylag wrote a memo opposing #homecare cuts from 2020 by former Gov. Cuomo & the Medicaid Redesign Team 2. Pwd deserve to live in the community! https://t.co/tq1T7LqK7M

"Without access to consumer-directed care, my neighbors would be left trying to access traditional home care. Since New York has the worst shortage of home care workers in the nation, many of them would come up short." TY @DavidWeprin! #CDPAisEssential https://t.co/d7MyoVJ984

[NYC Spinal @NYCSpinal]

@GovKathyHochul please choose the right side - care not profits. Reverse all of the cuts to home care and instead find savings by including the Home Care Savings and Reinvestment Act in the budget (S7800/A8470) #HomeCareIsEssential #StrongWheeledTogether

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

We spent the afternoon riding the elevators with @JFREJNYC, @HiHemployers, @CDPAANYS, and @1199SEIU dropping by legislators’ offices and talking to them about the Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act. New Yorkers demand #CAREnotProfits!

[Consumer Directed Action of NY @ConsDirActionNY]

Tell the Legislature that Designated Representatives are a critical part of #CDPAP & throwing 100,000+ kids, seniors w/ dementia/Alzheimer's & profoundly develop or neuro disabled kids off the program will create a crisis.
