Thank you to these Candidates Who Care who joined us in front of PPL's NYC headquarters to demand oversight for the CDPAP home care program, which has been collapsing under private equity control.

At a time when federal cuts threaten to gut Medicaid, we need representatives who recognize that it’s time to invest in Care Not Corruption!

Vote for them in the Democratic Primary on June 23!
