On #InternationalWomensDay, a reminder that 55% of human services workers are women of color.
As Riis staff speak to leaders in Albany TODAY, let’s remember that achieving #JustPay for human services workers will uplift thousands of women in NY.

This past Saturday, we delivered 300 holiday meals to seniors in #Queensbridge. The meals were generously donated by our friends @Citi. Thanks to all the staff and volunteers who came out to help, including our council member @JimmyVanBramer and his team! #community #givingback

[United Neighborhood Houses @UNHNY]

Settlement houses have been providing food, connection & more for their communities in the face of #COVID19. Now we need @NYCMayor @NYCSpeakerCoJo and @NYCCouncil to be there for them. Stop cutting funding & pay their true indirect rates, as promised. #StillOnTheFrontlines

[Riis Settlement @Riis_Settlement]

[#JustPay Maria 🦋 💫 @marializardo]
