@GovKathyHochul That number is better than all the workers that are and have left NY due to high taxes

@nyaddcares @NYSOPWDD When OPWDD spoke about the Georgetown university and study about diversity, parents were told that our input is crucial yet during the meeting no audience was allowed to speak. OPWDD allowed me to email my questions but no questions were addressed

Parents of individuals with IDD are all too aware that their children may outlive them. This concern is now greater than ever because the life expectancy of people with IDD is increasing, leading parents to wonder and worry what the future will bring.

Barbaric! How has this form of abuse not been eliminated? Shame on the FTA.

@GeraldoRivera We need a follow up story from years ago on willowbrook.

A dedicated group of NYADD Leads were up in Albany yesterday for Legislative #DisabilityAwarenessDay. We spoke with @ShelleyBMayer, @SeawrightForNY and @AsmSantabarbara at our advocacy information table. We are #NYADDstrong💥Can you hear us @GovKathyHochul?

@CBS6Albany And yet still no day programs since Covid began for some cognitive disabled adults! Happy programs are available for some but sad not for others after three years still nothing

[mg @whitneysaunt]

@GovKathyHochul when will you act on words you’ve spoken , families first? My disabled adult son has not been back at any programs since shut down from Covid 19. Need more help, Increase pay for those who work with developmental population . They are essential!

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

New Yorkers with I/DD are being left behind. This is unacceptable.

@GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins it's time to take action NOW and include an 8.5% COLA increase for service providers in the final budget!

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

ADVOCACY ALERT ‼️Join us 3/10 for a rally to #SAVEOURSERVICES and invest in the future of NYers with I/DD and the DSPs who support them.

The rally will be held at the Willowbrook State School to remind lawmakers why #carecantwait. We must take action NOW.

[NYADD @nyaddcares]

Thank you for this post! DSP’s are the ❤️ and soul of @NYSOPWDD! Families rely on them. The entire #LTSS system depends on them. This IS NOT a #minimumwage job! @GovKathyHochul needs to value their dedication to our loved ones and the vital role they play because #CareCantWait!

@GovKathyHochul @NYSOPWDD @Jihoonie @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @SenJohnMannion @Rebecca76AD @NYADD
Governor Hochul, please end the DSP Workforce Crisis today. A 2.5% COLA will not move the needle one bit.

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

In three weeks, the NYS Senate and Assembly will finalize their 2024 One-House Budgets. Until then, we're calling on YOU to help us remind lawmakers that #carecanwait. Check out our social media toolkit for tips on how to make your voice heard: https://t.co/Z2q3uuV9Wx

This is how you define and describe a crisis and the impacts it is having. Time's up New York.

‼️SOUNDING THE ALARM‼️ @NYSOPWDD has pulled a fast one again on individuals who reside in #IRA’s. What’s the point of requiring #PWD to sign leases if they have no #tenantsrights? Shame on @GovKathyHochul for allowing this: https://t.co/MYskwr8d1T #HCBSsettings #CivilRights

[mg @whitneysaunt]

@nyaddcares @SenJohnMannion Thank you for each and every one of you who help improve the lives of disabled people

[NYADD @nyaddcares]

Important to note that all of this 8.5% COLA DOES NOT go to the direct care workforce. We need our legislators to insure that provider agencies use this money to increase wages! @AileenMGunther & @SenJohnMannion please demand accountability because #carecantwait #DisabilityRights
