Thank you for your support, Governor! And thank you for speaking at our rally this morning! #DisabilityServicesDay

[Mount Olivet Rolling Acres @mtrollingacres]

MORA staff, board members, and guardians met up at the capitol yesterday to advocate for legislative support for the disability services field. We're grateful for this opportunity and appreciate the support for our field!

The first statement @heather_edelson made today was about disability services not getting enough funding. Thank you, Representative, for being a champion for our services, our staff, and the people we support.

We're excited to be back in person for Disability Services Day at the Capitol! It's time for the #MNLeg to invest in people supported and the staff who support them. #InvestInUs #DisabilityServicesDay #CareForOurCaregivers

'“Many providers have become reliant on the use of Appendix Ks which provide flexibilities like expanded service settings and the ability to provide temporary direct support wage increases and pay family caregivers,” said Elise Aguilar [ANCOR]...'

Thank you @MerrillBarbara for this great op-ed.

Congress needs to start backing up words with action. HCBS funding is critical, now more than ever, as we face high numbers of open positions and levels of staff burnout.

According to @axios the "living wage" for a MN adult working full time is $16.12, according to one @MIT tool. Add a child and it's $31.89/hour to support your family.
DSPs are trying to support families on less than $15/h. This is why Disability Services are #AboutToBreak #MNLeg

[ANCOR @TheRealANCOR]

To celebrate the anniversary of the ACA, we are calling on Congress to build on the ACA’s investments in #Medicaid Home & Community Based Services by investing $150 billion in HCBS. #12YearsOfACA #CareCantWait

We rallied and made a real impact! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Disability Services Day at the Capitol. Together we accomplish so much, which is evident by the impact that all advocates had last week.
Check out @arrm's video, which recaps the day!

Mary had fun telling @JuliaEColeman about her next tattoo — and how difficult it is to plan this with the lack of staffing. #DisabilityServicesDay #WhyWeRally #MNLeg
