As National Foster Care Month begins, The Foundling is joining with 25 orgs calling on @NYCMayor to invest $3M for @NYCSchools & @ACSNYC to provide interim transportation for students in foster care.

[Advocates for Children of New York @AFCNewYork]

No child in the foster system should have to switch schools or miss school because NYC has failed to provide a way to get them there. We urge @NYCMayor to invest $3M to provide interim transportation for students waiting for @NYCSchools bus service. https://t.co/GolmoD2Ff8

You can't build an anti-poverty system on poverty wages.

Yolanda MCBride (@TheNYFoundling ) spoke about our proposed BUMP legislation at SOMOS Albany this past weekend.

Raise the floor to $29/hour.

[BUMP New York @BUMPnewyork]

Melanie Hartzog, President and CEO of @TheNYFoundling, speaks the truth. We’ve built a system where the people providing human care services can’t afford to stay in New York State.

The solution is clear, invest in the workforce.

BUMP UP THE PAY. 📣
