Our lead artist currently survives (not lives; survives) as a caregiver here in Los Angeles County and needs YOUR help to make sure she gets a living wage increase. Did you know that home carers in LA County only make about $23,000 a year?
They deserve better.
#OurCareCounts
Went to a protest for SEIU 2015 at my Capitol on the 4th. Arianna represented.
#seiu2015 #cutshurtcare #ourcarecounts
🚨When we speak out, they listen.🚨 SEIU 2015 and
@udw.org members turned out strong last week in Sacramento to tell lawmakers that #OurCareCounts. The energy worked, and state legislators announced a budget proposal that protects IHSS. Next step is to push it through!
Meet Oscar Caballero, a provider who showed up today fighting alongside with us, and his wife’s care. It takes all of us, because this affects all of us. #OurCareCounts
@governor.ca.gov
Caregivers are saying NO to the proposed California budget.
NO to cuts to MediCal.
NO to caps on overtime.
NO to stripping away nursing home standards.
#OurCareCounts #CareIsEssential
We are march-ready and heading to the State Capitol today to demand our elected leaders protect care! We’re urging lawmakers to pass AB 283 and vote NO on any cuts to IHSS. Care can’t wait, and it’s time to invest in the workers who make it possible. #OurCareCounts
Caregivers hold up CA—now hold them up!
✊🏾 ✊🏿✊🏼 AB 283 lets 829,000 IHSS (In-Home Supportive Services) caregivers unite for living wages & respect. Your parents, grandparents, neighbors, YOU, we all need this.
