The IGHL Family were loud & proud during the Long Island Invest in ME Rally at the New York State Office Building in Hauppauge, NY. Thank you to all of our participants, staff members, community members and supporters who came out to let our State Officials know that the time is NOW and we need the Governor to INVEST IN ME!
The Kinexion Network is advocating for a 3.4% COLA (Cost Of Living Adjustment) and $4,000 DSP (Direct Support Professional) wage increase in the NYS Budget. A bipartisan call to action to invest in the future of individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the people who support them. Help us urge the Governor to INVEST IN ME!
Did you know?
Nearly HALF of DSPs experience some level of food or housing insecurity. New York State MUST invest in people living with disabilities and the DSPs who care for them!
