Today, 500 CPC staff & community members called on @NYCMayor and the City Council to pass a just budget that uplifts and centers AAPI and POC, immigrant and low-income NYers. We must invest in critical social services and the human services workers who care for our communities!

CPC empowers 2,500+ youth yearly through #SYEP and #WLG. We need to expand, not cut, these #youthprograms so all NYC youth can gain essential experience, professional references, and transferable skills that they can bring to their future careers. #CPCCityAdvocacyDay

City contracts have resulted in human services workers being some of the lowest-paid in NY. @CMRitaJoseph it’s time to #JustPay these workers equitable wages by funding a 6.5% COLA in FY24! #JustPay @HSC_NY

[Priscilla Fok @alwaysready93]

Nonprofit human services workers are the lifeline of our communities, but the City doesn’t pay them as such. @NYCMayor it’s time to #JustPay human services workers fair wages and fund a 6.5% COLA in their contracts! @HSC_NY

No faking here. Putting your hands behind your back is a best practice while detained, handcuffed or not, to avoid escalating charges like resisting arrest.

But given how you lied about a fellow rape survivor for “points,” as you put it to me, I don’t expect much else from you.

There are almost no housing units in NYC available for under $1,500 per month according to the new Housing and Vacancy Survey.

So the vast majority of New Yorkers could not afford to rent here if they lose their current unit.

Today @NYCHealthCommr issued an advisory as the City approaches the high #COVID19 Alert Level. All New Yorkers should wear masks in all indoor public settings. Those at high risk of severe illness should avoid crowded settings and limit get-togethers: https://t.co/vgcrvAAAG4

Happy Mother's Day from Hong Ning Housing! Nearly 200 senior residents received flowers and treats from our staff!

[Katelyn Andrews @KatelynAndrewss]

Three things we need @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil to prioritize this budget: #EquityforAging #U4Housing and #JustPay.

That means:
1️⃣ COLAs for human services workers
2️⃣ $42.7M for home-delivered meals
3️⃣ $4B in affordable housing investment per year, including 1K units for seniors

[CPC @cpc_nyc]

Our CPC Brooklyn team is safe and we have been calling community members all day to make sure everyone is safe and has the support they need during this time. We have moved our programming remote. In solidarity with our Sunset Park community as we work together to heal.
