The need is urgent. The threat is real. Take a moment to urge Congress to fully fund the federal security grant program that protects synagogues, schools, child‑care centers, community centers, and other vulnerable institutions: https://t.co/J0ZsVgFa4Q

50 million people have now gotten health care coverage thanks to the Affordable Care Act. That’s something we’ll always be proud of.

Health care is not, and never will be, a privilege — it’s a right. And I'm grateful for the work that Joe and Kamala continue to do to improve the ACA to make it more affordable and effective for everyone.

NSC’s John Kirby: "Israel isn’t trying to wipe the Palestinian people off the map. Israel isn’t trying to wipe Gaza off the map. Israel is trying to defend itself against a genocidal terrorist threat. So if we’re going to start using that word, Fine. Let’s use it appropriately.”

Increasing pay for Direct Support Professionals is not only a fight for fair wages. It is a fight against the longstanding practice of undervaluing and overlooking human service sector employees who care for our most vulnerable.

33 years ago, Congress passed one of the most important civil rights laws in our history and laid the foundation for equality, opportunity, and independence for those with disabilities. It is up to all of us to continue building upon that foundation.

A shortage of Direct Support Professionals leaves the I/DD community at risk.

Solving the DSP shortage must be a priority in 2024’s legislative session to ensure NYers with I/DD receive the care they deserve. #CareCantWait

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

A 4% Cost-Of-Living Adjustment is NOT enough to correct the massive shortages and turnover rates of Direct Support Professionals. Stop neglecting New Yorkers with disabilities and their caregivers. We need a DSWE come 2024.

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

A Direct Support Wage Enhancement is essential. Our I/DD community relies on quality care but NYS refuses to give essential caregivers livable wages. Tell your representatives to stop ignoring the needs of those with IDD and their caregivers: https://t.co/vhlrppQzOw

The Food and Drug Administration is under pressure to ban devices used to administer electric shocks on people with developmental #disabilities years after a previous attempt was blocked in court. https://t.co/xQ4eRsUlMF

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

For those with I/DD, access to care from Direct Support Professionals is a lifeline. NY's care providers need resources to fund these essential services. We need a Direct Support Wage Enhancement now to give essential care workers the livable wage they deserve. #IDDPriority

@LincolnRestler I hope that includes motorized bikes and motorcycles

[Congressman John W. Mannion @JohnMannionNY22]

We're talking about the backbone to an entire system of care delivery that impacts hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers and their families

It has to be 8.5% - that's what these workers have earned and it's what they deserve

If you’re infringing on the 1st amendment to ‘protect children’ from drag queens, but you won’t infringe on the 2nd to keep them from getting shot in schools, you don’t really care about protecting children. You’re just an asshole.

This has to be one of the most exciting projects that OGS is doing.
