Stand-off forming outside Hochul’s state Capitol office as tax-the-rich activists get ready to get arrested for staying after hours

… but this time progressive legislators are forming a wall in between activists and state troopers

.@NYSDOHMEDICAID director "No. We believe [home care workers] should be paid higher than min wage"

So why does this year's budget return home care workers to min wage in the midst of NY's worst in the nation shortage?

@GovKathyHochul which side are you on?

#FairPay4HomeCare

[Julie C. Farrar @farrarjcee]

Homecare workers deserve livable wages! Fully fund #FairPay4HomeCare

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

👏 @LindaBRosenthal: "Does DOH believe home care workers should be paid minimum wage?"

We took a baby step toward #FairPay4HomeCare last year - this year, @GovKathyHochul wants to roll this back by returning workers to minimum wage 😠

Follow thread for @NYSDOHMEDICAID response

[Julie C. Farrar @farrarjcee]

Governor Hochul does not care about home care!

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

In case you missed the moment - @HealthNYGov admitting home care workers will be frozen and return to minimum wage - We need #FairPay4HomeCare to end NY’s dangerous worker shortage. Thank you @AmyPaulin for asking this question

@superaleja_ I know him! Council Member Chris Hinds has served his district well. I am angry and ashamed of my city. Cleo has had this space for years. Aways talked about making the space more accessible. My daughter's performances there and it is a PITA just to get to the audience seating

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

If @GovKathyHochul doesn’t fund #FairPayforHomeCare, older adults & disabled people will continue to:

❌ sleep in their wheelchairs
❌ miss meal
❌ be forced into nursing homes

We know fair wages are the only way to end NY’s home care crisis.

Public safety is about housing, it’s about healthcare, it’s about education and economic stability. We can’t criminalize and overpolice our way to public safety solutions – we need investment in support structure. #StateOfTheStateNY

[Jasmine Gripper @Jasgripper]

Last year @GovKathyHochul committed to invest $7bil over 4 years in childcare. Looking forward to seeing the details to make this promise a reality. NY families need #UniversalChildcare and providers need quality wages & benefits. #SOS2023

"A gutless housing plan engineered to appease @GovKathyHochul's wealthy donors while doing nothing to help the people who are hurting most."

Why won’t @GovKathyHochul tax the rich? She says in #StateOfTheStateNY she won’t raise taxes to help the middle class so I’m asking who are we making NY more liveable for? The wealthy are living just fine…

[Jessica González-Rojas (votejgr.bsky.social) @votejgr]

We don’t have to fund healthcare OR housing. We can boldly fund basic needs and services by pushing back on austerity to pass the #InvestInOurNY package. If we wanna make a difference we must tax the rich to make bold investments in what keeps NYers safe. #StateOfTheStateNY

[Michael Kink @mkink]

Can’t say I’ve ever heard a New York governor say the words “housing is a human right” before.

To ensure that right, @GovKathyHochul must make billionaires and wealthy corporations pay what they owe to fund huge new investments in affordable social housing. #InvestInOurNY

[Hand in Hand: The Domestic Employers Network @HiHemployers]

Indexing is not enough @GovKathyHochul — we must fund #FairPay4HomeCare in order to end the worst home care shortage in the nation. #RaiseTheWage 👇

[Julie C. Farrar @farrarjcee]

@KathrynECarroll @CDPAANYS @GovKathyHochul not a word about disability, aging, home care or even healthcare (excluding forced MH treatment)

[Diane Coleman @ndycoleman]

t shouldn’t be easier to get care in a nursing home than in your own home. @GovKathyHochul needs to repeal the restrictions to Medicaid home care eligibility and #RestoreHomeCareAccess! #HomeCare4All #SOTS

[notes from the margins of access @AccessMargins]

.@GovKathyHochul must use her #NYStateOfTheState to highlight the need to #InvestInCare. #FairPay4HomeCare, #RestoreHomeCare, & reform of managed care in Medicaid must be at the top of the agenda for Albany this year.

[notes from the margins of access @AccessMargins]

.@GovKathyHochul - the #NYStateOfTheState can’t be strong w/o access to home care. End the “Goldilocks” cuts to home care eligibility. #RestoreHomeCare so those deemed ‘not disabled enough’ & those ‘too disabled’ still can live in the community.

[Gregg Beratan @GreggBeratan]

Someone tell @GovKathyHochul that tying housing to services is makes treatment coercive. Someone shouldn't have to deal w. a particular service provider for their housing. Shows that NY continues to focus on the needs of providers over the needs of people. #CripTheVote #NYSoTS

[Julie C. Farrar @farrarjcee]

forced confinement and treatment is unconstitutional! @GovKathyHochul
