.@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

[NYADD @nyaddcares]

.@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

[NYADD @nyaddcares]

.@CarlHeastie our 12,000 NYADD members have some budget tips for you!
Listen to your constituents and not @GovKathyHochul

[NYADD @nyaddcares]

.@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

@GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @SenJohnMannion @SeawrightForNY @nyaddcares @DRNY_org @iacnydd 3.2% COLA & DSP Wage Enhancement is needed!

.@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.

[NYC FAIR @NYC_FAIR]

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 @

Thank you to @nyaddcares and Russell Snaith for highlighting the importance of Direct Service Wage Professionals. https://t.co/z0SPcSmN2o

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

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

@RussellSnaith @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @SenJohnMannion @Rebecca76AD @Jihoonie @NYSOPWDD @nyaddcares @NYC_FAIR @FoxNews Thank you @FoxNews for capturing our struggles. Now it’s time @govhochul to right this ship that’s been sinking for 10 years.

[DDAWNY @DDAWNY_]

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!

[NYADD @nyaddcares]

.@AndreaSCousins when it comes down to the wire on the #NYbudget we are counting on you to share our stories w/ @GovKathyHochul and ASM. @CarlHeastie. The @NYSOPWDD DSP workforce provides vital support to those with #disabilities. See why #carecantwait:
