The full legislature and every heart in New York State is behind Fair Pay for Home Care - but Governor Hochul has yet to support this critical budget priority. The budget is typically finalized by April 1st and the home care crisis cannot be put off any longer.
Here is how you can take action with the Fair Pay for Home Care campaign during these last few days before the budget is final:
If you can't find home care for yourself or someone close to you due to the low wages, add your name to a 30+ ft long list of hundreds of New Yorkers who can't find home care. We will use this banner of names and our stories in public demonstrations around the NYS Capitol as we put everything we've got into the fight for Fair Pay for Home Care.
Join us for a big rally at the Governor’s Mansion in Albany on Wed, March 30th at 12PM! This will be one of our last big in-person pushes and we need all hands on deck. RSVP here!
