ACT NOW: Petition for better wages for DSPs

Time is running OUT! There is currently a petition circulating on the internet to request that Governor Cuomo adds $45 million into his budget to provide Direct Support Professionals with a living wage. It only takes a minute of your time to support this vital cause. If better wages are not funded, it will put those we love at risk when our quality employees leave for better wages elsewhere.
