@feancina I’m interested if you still have them!

[Caring Majority Rising @CaringMRising]

Today, @DNY_ADAPT & Caring Majority blew the whistle on PPL's wage theft, and it made @fox5ny!

@NinaBako: "It is a nightmare for all of us involved. It's not just Excel sheets – it's real lives."

⌛️Albany must pass legislation to stop the PPL monopoly & save home care in NY⌛️

[Caring Majority Rising @CaringMRising]

BREAKING: @HealthNYGov Health Commissioner IGNORES people w disabilities fighting for their lives!

TAKE ACTION: We must end the PPL contract before it ends us! Call your State Legislators to say they MUST intervene. Link below.

[Downstate New York ADAPT @DNY_ADAPT]

Imagine @PartnerwithPPL calling disabled people ‘fraudsters’ while cutting life-saving services. That’s not policy — that’s ableism dressed in a budget memo. #StopTheCuts #CripResistance

[Downstate New York ADAPT @DNY_ADAPT]

Once the epicenter of the disability rights movement, New York is now a cautionary tale. Bureaucratic violence, budget cuts, and outright contempt for our lives. This isn’t just policy—it’s a war on our survival. #StopPPL #SaveCDPAP

[Downstate New York ADAPT @DNY_ADAPT]

They call it ‘streamlining’ — we call it a death sentence. Replacing our care infrastructure with corporate control is not reform. It’s systemic abandonment. #WeWillNotBeSilent #PPL #SaveCDPAP

[Downstate New York ADAPT @DNY_ADAPT]

This isn’t ‘fiscal responsibility.’ This is calculated neglect. Let’s call it what it is: managed death. #DeathByPolicy #DisabilityJusticeNow #SaveCDPAP

[Downstate New York ADAPT @DNY_ADAPT]

When a state decides that disabled people are too expensive to keep alive, that’s not budget management—it’s systemic abandonment. We won’t be erased without a fight. #CripRebellion #DisabledSurvivors

[Downstate New York ADAPT @DNY_ADAPT]

The same country that birthed ADAPT is now trying to bury us under bureaucracy. From over 600 FIs to ONE corporate handler? Nah. We didn’t survive this long to hand over our lives to a spreadsheet. #SaveCDPA #PPL

[Downstate New York ADAPT @DNY_ADAPT]

This isn’t about ‘fixing’ the system — it’s about clearing us out of it. Disabled people are not disposable, and our survival will never be up for negotiation. #CutTheAbleismNotTheCare #SaveCDPAP

[Downstate New York ADAPT @DNY_ADAPT]

This isn’t about ‘waste.’ It’s about power. Taking away local control of our care and handing it to a giant out-of-state company, @PartnerwithPPL is a violent choice. We need justice, not profit margins. #HandsOffCDPAP #CripPower

[Downstate New York ADAPT @DNY_ADAPT]

We warned you this would be a disaster, and no one listened. Now lives are on the line. @PartnerwithPPL #SaveCDPA

[Caring Majority Rising @CaringMRising]

BREAKING: We’re blowing the whistle w/ @DNY_ADAPT at @PartnerwithPPL’s midtown office to demand accountability for their CATASTROPHIC management of CDPAP.

Albany must pass legislation to #SaveCDPAP, stop the PPL monopoly, & keep NY’s home care system from collapse! #PPLDoesntPay

[Heather Burroughs @HBurroughs8319]

NY’s CDPAP Overhaul is a death sentence for our most vulnerable. @GovKathyHochul I don’t want to bury another friend #CancelTheContract #ProtectHomeCare #CripTheVote #WeThePeopleIncludesUs

[Caring Majority Rising @CaringMRising]

NOW: We are @GovKathyHochul’s office to demand ANSWERS from PPL for not paying 100,000s of CDPAP workers last week.

**70%** of workers didn’t get their first paycheck.

Next pay day is Thursday. What’s the plan?

[Caring Majority Rising @CaringMRising]

BREAKING! PPL Fails Its First Test: Most CDPAP Workers Went Unpaid on Pay Day

We're amidst a true crisis. 100,000s of low-income home care workers didn’t get paid last week. CDPAP workers live paycheck to paycheck – which means 100,000s of families can’t cover groceries, bills, car payments this week.

[CDPAANYS @CDPAANYS]

“I wasn’t paid by PPL this week. I don’t know if I’m going to be paid by PPL,” Murphy said.

Another 30-year recipient in the program told The Post two of his three aides weren’t paid for their correct hours last week.

The @PartnerwithPPL transition was supposed to “increase transparency.” Instead, it has increased bureaucracy, confusion, and chaos. #NoToPPL

[Downstate New York ADAPT @DNY_ADAPT]

Unreturned phone calls. Long waits for help. Missing service authorizations. These are just a few of the issues plaguing the costly transition to @PartnerwithPPL for NY home care. Money well spent? #NoToPPL
