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!

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

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

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!
This is an important step for furthering inclusivity.
Representation matters, and New Yorkers are helping to lead the way!

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

“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.”

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!

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.

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!
