#JustPay means #JustPay for ALL human services workers. Despite this, several programs are left out of receiving critical State funding. Governor Kathy Hochul you can cut the red tape preventing thousands from receiving inflation investments — act now!

There’s no safety net without human services nonprofits and there’s no affordable NY without #JustPay for their workers. Governor Kathy Hochul — we need a 4% TII for ALL programs now!

“For decades, we have called these workers essential…What NY’s government has failed to do is pay them fairly.”
Nonprofit workers can no longer wait for partial justice @governor.ny.gov! We deserve nothing less than a 4% investment and true #JustPay: bit.ly/No-Partial-Justice
The legislature has championed #JustPay by proposing a 4% investment in human services— and now, @governor.ny.gov we need you to do the same! A 1.7% investment for SOME human services programs won't cut it - our sector needs an investment of 4% or more for ALL programs.
With inflation at 2.7%, any investment less than that is a pay cut for human services workers.
We’re done waiting for partial justice. Governor Kathy Hochul must fund an investment of 4% or more in human services, while also committing to long-term #JustPay: bit.ly/No-Partial-Justice

“DON’T WALK OVER US.”
Today in Albany, we filled the Million Dollar Staircase with THOUSANDS of handwritten postcards from human services workers telling @governor.ny.gov we need #JustPay!
We're sending a clear message: it's time for fair funding that actually keeps pace with the cost of living.
Special delivery for @governor.ny.gov 📫
Today, we went to Albany w/ @northernrivers.bsky.social & MHANYA to drop off 2K+ postcards written by #nonprofit human services workers across NYS demanding #JustPay!
This year, that means including a 4% investment for ALL State human services programs!

A group of human services workers and advocates hold #JustPay signs and rally inside the New York State Capitol. Text on the graphic reads: “Op-Ed – NY’s Human Services Workforce Is Done Waiting for Partial Justice.”
With inflation at 2.7%, any investment less than that is a pay cut for human services workers.

We were thrilled to hear from DM for Health & Human Services Dr. Helen Arteaga, DM for Operations Julia Kerson, and DM for Housing & Planning Leila Bozorg at our human services reception! We look forward to working with them to ensure timely payments for nonprofits and #JustPay for workers! 💪
We joined 300 other human services workers at the New York State Capitol in Albany for a #JustPay Human Services Advocacy Day. At the rally & meetings with legislators, we demanded the State fund a 2.7% COLA increase on all human services contracts & pass Wage Board legislation.

BronxWorks staff joined 300+ human services workers at the state capitol for Human Services State Advocacy Day, calling for a 2.7% investment in ALL State-contracted programs & passage of Wage Board Legislation. #JustPay #FundHumanServices Human Services Council of New York (HSC)
Our CEO Bill Gettman was proud to join the Human Services Council along with many other New York organizations at the Capitol today at their #JustPay event advocating for a 2.7% investment in NYS budget!
Thank you to Senator Persaud and Senator Ashby!
Cost-of-living remains high, and State contracts are falling behind. With inflation at 2.7%, the human services sector deserves an investment to match that.
As human services workers rally in Albany today, email legislators to amplify our collective call for #JustPay: bit.ly/JustPay-Backup-Action
Our press conference for #JustPay is happening NOW in Albany! Hundreds of workers & supporters are fighting for the wages and funding our sector deserves 💪
If you can't join us in-person, you can support the cause by emailing your legislators: secure.everyaction.com/HLBB_aCpNkmk...
