Self-advocates want NYS lawmakers to provide an unrestricted 3.2% cost-of-living increase in the Budget to fully cover all costs associated with supporting people with disabilities to enjoy great lives. #InvestInME

Self-advocates want NYS lawmakers to include money for a Direct Support Wage Enhancement (DSWE) in the Budget. The DSWE is essential to recruit and retain the staff who support people with disabilities. #InvestInME

DSPs are more than caregivers and their dedication deserves fair wages and better working conditions.

We're counting on @GovKathyHochul @CarlEHeastie and @AndreaSCousins to prioritize investments for this essential workforce in the final budget!

ESSENTIAL WORKERS DESERVE TO LIVE WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT BEING ABLE TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES ‼️‼️

@GovKathyHochul @CarlEHeastie and @AndreaSCousins if you agree, #InvestInDSPs and include a DSWE for direct support staff in the final budget.

A DSP wage enhancement, passed in the Senate 1 HOUSE, will give DSPs the living wage they deserve for caring for our most medically frail: people on ventilators, G-Tube fed, dementia, etc. DSPs love their work, but the pay makes them leave

[DDAWNY @DDAWNY_]

WNY Delegation, please continue to advocate for & pass in the final budget a 3.2 % UNRESTRICTED COLA for DSPs, all frontline staff, and inflationary costs. Bills have to be paid for sites to be open and for people to have jobs to go to. Thank you!

Heading into the week energized by last week’s visit with our members in Jamestown⚡. The @NYSUT members at The Resource Center give tirelessly to their clients. NY needs to include a 3.2% COLA for nonprofit providers in the enacted budget so workers like these can be given the respect and fair compensation they deserve. @TRCorg @NYSUTWNY

[The Resource Center @TRCorg]

@MelindaJPerson @nysut Thank you @nysut President Person for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit those we passionately care for. Your advocacy means the world to our employees and people we support!

[Melinda Person 🍎✌🌈 @MelindaJPerson]

Meet my new friend Ann, a resilient soul who survived a tragic accident in '85, struck by a drunk boater. Now, she's embraced by the compassionate @NYSUT members who care for her and support her each day at The Resource Center in Jamestown, NY. Let's ensure these dedicated staff receive the fair compensation they deserve for their invaluable work. Include a 3.2% COLA for nonprofit providers in the enacted budget @TRCorg @NYSUTWNY

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

We couldn’t agree more — representation matters. But so does resource stability, equity & accessibility. To truly show that NY values those with I/DD, the government must invest in the support systems that allow them to thrive, starting with an 8.5% COLA in this year's budget!

[The Arc New York @thearcny]

WORD FROM ALBANY: The 8.5% COLA is in JEOPARDY

Call your legislators! Find their numbers here: https://t.co/KqfbakEBKl

Tell them OUR SYSTEM IS IN CRISIS!
Tell them New Yorkers with disabilities CANNOT BE NEGLECTED!
Tell them 8.5% Must be NON-NEGOTIABLE!!!!!!

[NYC FAIR @NYC_FAIR]

I hope the Gov. & the legislature understand how desperately we need 8.5% to keep supports & services for people w/IDD.We are slipping into warehousing!! @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @NYDA @SeawrightForNY @SenJohnMannion @DDAWNY_

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

ADVOCACY ALERT 🚨 

There is still time to urge lawmakers to prioritize NYers with I/DD in the final budget. Call your local electeds, Senate & Assembly Leadership, and Governor Hochul and tell them to include an 8.5% COLA for the health and human services sector #CareCantWait

[NYC FAIR @NYC_FAIR]

“In our house, I think we’re losing two of our DSPs due to the pay. It just doesn’t match up to how much work they put in.”

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

Tell @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins and your elected officials: We NEED an 8.5% COLA increase for the I/DD service sector in this year's budget!

[CPState @CPstate]

Amber has been caring for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities for more than 20 years. She and the people she cares for deserve an 8.5% cost of living adjustment.
