NY’s human service workers keep our communities running - they care for children, support seniors, and aid families in crisis. Yet they are chronically underpaid. Read my op-ed in @amNewYork calling on NY to give these workers fair pay in the NYS budget. amny.com/opinion/help-new-yo…

New York human service workers demand better pay

New York human service workers struggle with low wages and tough conditions. Advocates demand fair pay and better treatment to sustain vital services.

Did you know? A strong connection to school can be a powerful stabilizing factor for youth in foster care, yet in past years @NYCSchools issued long-term suspensions to students in foster care at **five times** the Citywide rate #NFCM2024
Quote that reads "Our students face so many educational barriers. Instead of supporting students with disabilities and trauma-related behaviors, some schools are quick to push them out. Having a strong advocate gives our students the chance to go to school and get the supports they deserve. It also shows our students that they matter, their education matters, and that there's a team of adults committed to helping them succeed." Dawn Grant-Duffus, Supervisor of Education & Youth Development at Graham Windham
