Contact your NYS Legislators & ask for the e Living Wage Spin Up

Today, Tuesday & Wednesday (March 5th, 6th & 7th) the Legislative Conferences (Senate Republican, Democratic and Independent Democratic Conferences and Assembly Democratic and Republican Conferences) are meeting to determine their respective Budget priorities to be passed the week of March 12th, which sets their negotiating positions as they meet with the Governor to enact a Budget for the next fiscal year.

It is essential you CALL your Senate & Assembly Members and SAY: 

• Please stand up for DSPs and people with developmental disabilities by urging your Conference to include the spin up of e Living Wage funding in your one-house budget resolution.
• It’s an additional $18.25M beginning Jan. 1, 2019, or just 0.01 percent of the total budget.
