THANK YOU to all who joined us in Albany yesterday to show lawmakers that the I/DD community has a voice and we’re not afraid to speak up!

This rally has come to an end, but our work isn’t over. We’ll keep making noise until we secure the funding our community needs & deserves!

@GovKathyHochul
we know you feel our workforce is critical.
We appreciate your investment in our staff last year, but we are still playing catch up after 10 years of no increase in funding & especially due to inflation and turnover. WE NEED YOU
#IDDPriority #CareCantWait

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

To keep up with the rising costs of inflation, @GovKathyHochul must secure funds for I/DD provider agencies ASAP. Inaction threatens agencies’ abilities to offer competitive wages for direct support staff, threatening the lives of the I/DD community #CareCantWait #NYDADayOfAction

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

Sign the petition to urge lawmakers across the country to invest in the I/DD service sector and ensure no American is left without the supports & resources they need to live their best lives ‼️ #NYDADayOfAction
