DSP Coalition Comes Out in Force for Wage Increase
The Coalition for a DSP Living Wage had a big showing at the State House on Thursday and outreached to at least 50 legislators. This included the Senate President, members of the Senate and Assembly Budget Committees, and Senators and Assembly people from across the State. A BIG thank you to everyone who took the time to join us and help us advocate on this very important issue!
