There is no such thing as can't. No such thing as try just do.

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

This morning we gathered in Brooklyn's Little Haiti neighborhood to demand protections for Haitian immigrant home care workers as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to rule this summer on Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants living and working in the United States.

Haitian immigrants are essential to New York City’s home care industry, caring for elderly and disabled neighbors, showing up every day to provide the personal assistance that allows New Yorkers to remain in their homes and out of costly institutions. New York's home care industry is facing a compounding crisis: immigrant workers already battling wage theft and low wages now face the threat of losing their legal right to work entirely.

We’re demanding both fair wages and labor protections for home care workers and urgent action to shield the immigrant workforce that the industry cannot function without.

"CDPAP used to be safe. It was created by and for people who can live in the community but just need that extra level of care.

Many of the FIs that the Hochul administration calls corrupt created the program and allowed people like myself to transition out of nursing homes and live independently in the community." —Jose Hernandez, @NYAIL

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

🔥 @JumaaneWilliams: "Public health should not be managed by private equity. At least 90k consumers have fled CDPAP into expensive traditional and nursing home care – something people warned would happen before the transition was made to PPL.

CDPAP providers are going without pay out of love for the person they’re caring for. Consumers are losing choice. This is not care."

"My PA has been with me for 26 years. She’s like family. She found out PPL never took taxes from her, so now she’s in debt.

I feel responsible because she wanted to leave CDPAP from Day 1 but stayed bc she doesn’t want to leave me alone. When I call PPL, as always, they never help. She’s constantly on the phone with them to try to get this resolved." —Iris Jimenez, CDPAP Consumer

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

"I've said from the very beginning when the transition to PPL started – This is a big scam. If the idea is to push us into nursing homes, which I think it is, I rather be dead.

When I try to get fill-in staff, as soon as they hear the word "PPL" they say "no thank you." –Iris Jimenez, Consumer

@GovKathyHochul "CDPAP has grown because it’s popular and it works.

We need transparency because we must be able to really look at that data, those numbers, those so-called “savings." I will continue to fight until we get the Home Care Transparency Act passed.” -@votejgr

[NY Caring Majority 🍎 @CaringMajority]

NOW: Home care workers, consumers, & lawmakers demand transparency & public accountability into NY's $11B contract w/ private equity-backed PPL.

As many as 150k workers & 90k consumers have fled CDPAP due to PPL's payment failures, most switching to more expensive traditional home care.
