Changing the World One Act at a Time

OUTmedia reposted

The heart and soul of the @CaringMajority is the older adults, disabled people, family caregivers, home care workers, and advocates who fight tirelessly to win #FairPay4HomeCare day in and out. THANK YOU to our members, whose fierce love and power are the fire of this movement!

We didn't win #FairPay4HomeCare, but our champions fought with great determination and love at our side this budget session, and we know they are in this fight with us for the long haul. This is our THANK YOU to the #FairPay4HomeCare champions in the NYS Assembly & Senate!

It is mind-boggling that legislation like this can so completely ignore the impact it would have on #FamilyCaregivers who already provide a majority of the Long-Term Care in this country! Home care: Medicare panacea or mirage? politi.co/3V1cOHq via @politico

.@GovKathyHochul shattered the glass ceiling when she became NY's first woman governor. But by rolling back wage increases for women home care workers, she's sealed that ceiling up behind her. We need #FairPay4HomeCare & to #RaiseUpNY NOW!

On International Worker's Day, @GovKathyHochul is letting us know just how little she cares about workers. #MayDay #RaiseUpNY #FairPay4HomeCare

Moreover, the Governor is cutting $1.55 in wages and benefits from over 300,000 home care workers — the vast majority of workers in the state.

Last year, @GovKathyHochul said her promised $3⬆️ in home care wages was "just a start." But her new budge caps these wages at $3 over min wage, making it clear it's not a start — it's the ceiling. And she refuses to let majority-women workers shatter it. politico.com/newsletters/we…

Thanks to @RachelMayNY and @AmyPaulin for doing EVERYTHING to push for #FairPay4HomeCare and @jessicaramos and @JoinJoyner for leading the fight to #RaiseTheWage. Proud of our campaigns for sticking together - this is not a zero-sum game. @GovKathyHochul can -AND MUST- fund both!

As #FairPay4HomeCare is negotiated in the budget, these are the main points we, as concerned & outraged citizens of the @CaringMajority need to hold strong on. Please call your Assembly Members today & ask them to hold the line & get @GovKathyHochul to fully fund Fair Pay A 🧵

.@GovKathyHochul The NY Times is reporting what we have been telling you for years - we are facing a massive Home Care shortage due to the lack of #FairPay4HomeCare - don’t betray us in this year’s budget by going back on the baby step forward you took last year

"Health aides account for one of the fastest-growing industries in NYC, but typically pull in very low salaries — recent research has shown that the city is facing a massive shortage of home health aides, which will worsen significantly over the next few years."

Here. Again. We shouldn’t have to keep fighting for these most basic, obvious things. Raise minimum wage to $21.25 so people can eat and pay rent. Pay home care workers a living wage to end the worker shortage. @GovKathyHochul DO YOU a CARE?????

We must tilt the budget to reflect the necessities, priorities and values of our state. NYers cannot allow an austerity healthcare budget which jeopardizes care for seniors and people with disabilities. @GovKathyHochul,we need #FairPay4Homecare! #RaiseUpNY


OUTmedia reposted

And, let’s not forget the giant middle finger she’s giving to home care workers & everyone who needs care by failing to support #FairPay4Homecare, despite widespread support from both the Senate & Assembly. @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie please hold the line! @CaringMajority


OUTmedia reposted

.@GovKathyHochul’s budget “is basically a giant middle finger to every progressive priority, gutting NY’s wildly successful bail reform, handing more💰to charter schools… hiking CUNY & SUNY tuition …& refusing to include the rent-increase cap & good-cause eviction law…”

"You win elections by taking stances on issues that don’t concede ground to the right...centering Republican narratives about crime and socialism only helps, well, Republicans." Louder, for the NY Dems in the back. currentaffairs.org/2023/04/progre…

Year after year private insurance plans have been pocketing millions of tax $$ meant for home care 😠 This injustice will continue if @GovKathyHochul again fails to include #FairPay4HomeCare in the budget Hold the line! @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins inthesetimes.com/article/insura…


OUTmedia reposted

2022: @GovKathyHochul said "no" she is not letting private insurance companies keep millions of tax $$ meant for #FairPay4HomeCare Lies Today: We learn she is actively blocking our effort to ensure $$ gets to home care @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins hold the line!
