Honored to give this care campion award to Linda B. Rosenthal “the #OriginalRosenthal” on behalf of the NY Caring Majority 🍎! Keep up the good fight for #fairpay4homecare 💪
Activists for #FairPay4HomeCare and protecting bail reform are uniting in an act of civil disobedience outside Governor Hochul’s office, facing a phalanx of troopers.
“Communities not cages. No nursing homes, no jails.”
We're in Albany hearing from Angela Harmer, a CDPA consumer from Lansingburgh, as she shares her personal experience with MLTC at the NY Caring Majority 🍎 Legislative Breakfast. #FairPay4HomeCare
AM Harvey Epstein is right: we need to invest in #FairPay4HomeCare , in our public schools and higher education, in preventative services –– we need to invest in our future so folks can live healthy, safe lives. #InvestInOurNY
'The fight for the working class is the fight for education, #FairPay4HomeCare , climate justice, raising wages, #Coverage4All , & the fight to stand our ground on the hard work we did on bail reform.' Thank you AM Jessica González-Rojas for fighting to #InvestInOurNY !
💖 NYers have championed #FairPay4HomeCare tirelessly. Yet, the small raises we won aren’t making it to homecare. Instead, it's lining the pockets of private insurance companies. Let's spread love, not profits. Take a stand for #CareNOTProfits : nycaringmajority.org/carenotprofits 🌹
Being able to get home care means having the right to live, and to live with dignity and comfort. The workers who provide this care and the people who need it should not be an afterthought. Let’s pass #FairPay4HomeCare
“We cannot backtrack this year. #Homecare workers are highly skilled people who serve the most vulnerable people in our community. We have to do the right thing for them, their clients, and their clients’ families.” - Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz #FairPay4Homecare #RaiseUpNY
.NY Caring Majority 🍎 reenacted their years-long battle for #FairPay4HomeCare : Gov. Hochul handing out $ to “managed” care companies instead of the home care workers and the home care heroes fighting to keep our communities cared for!

This is truly the beloved community, and we are fighting (and singing) together to demand #FairPay4HomeCare Governor Kathy Hochul listen to us! New York State Poor People's Campaign NY Caring Majority 🍎 Middle Church
Low wages, poor working conditions & high turnover has decimated the home care industry.
Investing in #CareNotProfits will ensure increases go into workers’ pockets, not insurance company coffers.💰
We need Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act to deliver true #FairPay4HomeCare !
Rest in Power Sally Johnston! There are so many reasons we named our advocacy award for Sally. She was a fierce advocate who spent her life fighting not only for #FairPay4HomeCare & CDPA but for the Disability Community & the right of disabled ppl to be supported in the community
Last year, the legislature fought hard for raises for home care workers in the NYS Budget. I am honored to fight alongside the NY Caring Majority 🍎 to make sure these essential workers receive the wages they deserve for the skilled work they deliver. #FairPay4HomeCare
'There is an aging population in my district that finds it UNACCEPTABLE that we have to fight for living wages. We are not going to stop until we get this passed through both chambers' #FairPay4HomeCare
I've worked as a home health aide. It was hard work, and didn't pay enough, but I truly loved working with my clients.
We need NY state to invest in workers and patients, not private insurance companies.

New York’s labor movement won 2 big wins in this year’s budget: a raise in the minimum wage & #FairPay4HomeCare .
Now we need the Dept. of Labor to step up & protect those wage gains. I spoke with Spectrum News NY1 about the latest lawsuit from home care workers fighting for enforcement.
“It’s outrageous to AARPNY New York… that despite the Assembly and Senate adding $4 billion to the Governor’s budget proposal, older New Yorkers in need of in-home care are short-changed yet again.” aarpny states.aarp.org/new-york/aarp-… #CareNotProfits #FairPay4HomeCare #endwaitlists
State funds should go to the hard-working people who provide home care to vulnerable NYers - not to pad the pockets of private insurance companies.
With a massive staffing shortage, we need the Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act.
