.@CarlHeastie consolidating CDPAP under just one FISCAL INTERMEDIARY eliminates choice, undermines equity and WILL NOT save NYS money. Please listen to your constituents and #InvestinME because #carecantwait#Disabilityfundingmakessense
.@SeawrightForNY PLEASE tell @CarlHeastie and your colleagues in the Assembly that consolidating #CDPAP under just ONE FI will
NOT fix the budget shortfall. @GovKathyHochul, threatening ppl with disabilities with these cuts during a workforce crisis is just cruel. #carecantwait
.@GovKathyHochul are you listening? People with #disabilities are speaking directly to you! Our workforce needs to be paid a fair wage for the work they do. We are not asking for much but we need you to hear us. $4K #DSWE and 3.2% #COLA MUST be in the budget. #carecantwait
.@RepGarbarino@gillibrandny@SenSchumer People with disabilities use Medicaid services to support them in their daily lives. There's currently not enough funding, and we can't allow govt. funding negotiations to CUT these services further, impacting the lives of millions.
Caring for & supporting others is undervalued & underpaid,we are desperate to make Govt. Understand that w/out 8.5% COLA it all falls apart. Do the right thing @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins@LizKrueger @
DSPs do essential, tireless work. They deserve fair pay.
@GovKathyHochul, @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins, NOW is the time to take action to address staffing shortages and high turnover by including an 8.5% COLA in this year's budget! https://t.co/UZWLNw2pTE
In @GovKathyHochul SOTS, the Governor spoke with her ❤️ when she said we must do more for women, esp women of color, people trying to survive on low wages & facing inflation, & NYSs most vulnerable.
You can ✔️ all these 📦 Governor by supporting an 8.5% COLA in the final budget!
