Find me on Blue Sky: mpjackson44 #JustF*ckingPay human services workers an equitable wage, #JustPay human services nonprofits fully and on time!

[Team Levine @TeamLevineNYC]

We’re honored to be endorsed by @HSActionNY! Our communities rely on the organizations they represent, and it’s time to ensure they get paid on time and their workers are paid livable wages. We’re ready to fight alongside them in the Comptroller’s office!

[Justin Brannan @JustinBrannan]

Our non-profit organizations are the unsung heroes of this city and yet most struggle to stay afloat as they wait to get paid for work they did years ago. New York City needs to pay their damn bills on time. As your next comptroller, fixing this will be one of my top priorities.

[Carmen De La Rosa @CnDelarosa]

"When these workers leave, it’s not just their loss; it’s ours. Every New Yorker who relies on these essential services will feel the pain."

Well said, @mpjackson. Let's get human services workers REAL living wages.

Thank you @RepRitchie !!!!!

[Rep. Ritchie Torres @RepRitchie]

When it comes to nonprofit human services, Albany is catastrophically failing the working people of New York.

That's why I am calling on @GovKathyHochul to grant nonprofit human services workers the just pay that has eluded far too many for far too long in the State of New York.

[Assemblyman Al Taylor @assemblymanalt1]

Gov. Hochul’s proposed 2.1% wage increase for human services workers isn't enough—it’s a pay cut with inflation. We need a 7.8% raise in the final budget to keep essential workers serving NY.

Mayoral forum focused on human services and workforce development. Please be specific in your answers, you can go back to being vague after you’re elected mayor, @katie_honan jokes.
Myrie, Mamdani, Lander and Stringer here, Ramos on her way.

[Michelle #JustPay Jackson @mpjackson]

Kicking off our Mayoral Forum, ensuring nonprofits are part of the conversation!

[Human Services Action (HSA) @HSActionNY]

“It’s definitely the worst it’s ever been." 90% of orgs polled by @hsc_ny said they had delayed payments totaling $365M.

@mpjackson weighs in on the late payments threatening providers' ability to serve communities – and the need for NYC gov to step up. https://t.co/6RZOV5qrrP

The City's chronic late payments force many nonprofits to take on debt, jeopardizing programs that are the lifeline of our communities. HSC’s Procurement Survey results show that despite progress, problems still persist.

Our Executive Director @mpjackson weighs in: https://t.co/B2fLOXtdbK

[Justin Brannan @JustinBrannan]

I spoke at a Human Services Council event where I asked the crowd, "How many of you are owed money by the city?" and the entire room raised their hands. It's insane, it's hurting our most vulnerable New Yorkers, and it's gotta change. @HSC_NY @LegalAidNYC https://t.co/g4ofaVsZ96

[Ben & Jerry's @benandjerrys]

Congress is working to pass a bill that would have a devastating, chilling effect on free speech and give the Trump administration power to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits without due process or even a clear explanation (1/3).

[Human Services Action (HSA) @HSActionNY]

.@SenatorPersaud has been a long-time advocate for our sector & #JustPay. We're thrilled to honor her as a 2024 Champion! She led the fight to ensure all human services workers qualify for the State COLA & we hope you'll join us in celebrating her! 🎉🎉🎉https://t.co/D5VWSAuxWH

ICYMI: two of our 2024 Human Services Champions, @althea4theBX & @JustinBrannan wrote a powerful #OpEd pointing out how chronic late payments to #nonprofits are forcing lifesaving orgs "off a cliff" – & how we can fix this urgent problem.

"Over 90% of [nonprofit] organizations report significant payment delays, amounting to a staggering $365M in outstanding payments. Two nonprofits that provide critical social services and housing assistance to New Yorkers are owed an estimated $53M alone."

In an op-ed for @CityandStateNY, @JustinBrannan and @A_StevensD16 explain the importance of ending the bureaucratic bottlenecks that are causing nonprofits serving New Yorkers to struggle: https://t.co/bE3xP13tM9

[Michelle #JustPay Jackson @mpjackson]

Thank you @JustinBrannan @althea4theBX for highlighting why now, more than ever, NYC needs to PAY NONPROFITS ON TIME!

[Justin Brannan @JustinBrannan]

I recently spoke at a @HSC_NY event where I asked the crowd "how many of you are owed money by the city?" and the entire room raised their hands. It's insane and it's hurting New Yorkers. From me and @althea4theBX https://t.co/GwO3WhbOhb

[NYC Council Member Althea Stevens @A_StevensD16]

I know procurement isn’t the sexiest topic but it is an important one… We need to fix the system to ensure organizations are being paid for the services they provide to our city. My colleague @JustinBrannan takes this issue very serious.
