From New York's Caring Majority, via the New York Association on Independent Living:
Join the New York Caring Majority for our exciting Fair Pay for Home Care relaunch on December 14 - 16, at locations across the state! We will hear from legislative care champions as well as share our own care stories, demonstrating the power of our campaign to raise wages for home care workers, and the urgent need to end our state’s worst-in-the-nation workforce shortage.
Here are the relaunch details we have so far:
NEW TIME - December 14 at 12:30 PM in Manhattan, Union Square (RSVP). Contact zahara@jfrej.org with questions.
