We are just ONE WEEK AWAY from celebrating our 75th Anniversary in style in Tribeca. We are thrilled to welcome our MC, NYC local news legend @errollouis from Spectrum News NY1.
Today, I co-chaired the Mental Hygiene budget hearing and questioned @NYSOPWDD Commissioner Neifeld about the I/DD workforce crisis. DSPs need a DSWE and 3.2% COLA to counter stagnating wages and the high cost of living. (1/2)

"We all need to be paid the way we're supposed to be, and we haven't been for a long time," @NYDisabilityAdv Mike Alvaro said. "It's time for them to start investing in us."

"New York lawmakers and non-profit leaders are advocating for a bill that is expected to go before the legislature before the end of June that would provide caregivers who look after people with I/DD a pay raise." https://t.co/viDSiRymyA
This is why I've been fighting for an 8.5% cost of living adjustment and wage enhancement for DSPs
Individuals with disabilities deserve to live dignified and enriched lives - and it's DSPs that make it happen
We have to support our DSPs!

We’re glad the White House recognizes the value direct care workers bring to all of our lives. It’s time for @GovKathyHochul and NYS lawmakers to do the same. Support the 8.5% COLA in this year’s budget!
