Action Alert: Call Speaker Prieto!

Take Action Now: Call Speaker Prieto

The Budget must be signed by June 30th and the Coalition for a DSP Living Wage must do everything in our power to ensure an increase for Direct Support Professionals in Fiscal Year 2018.

Toward that end, we need your help.

An increase for Direct Support Professionals is included in the Budget bill, but we need to make sure it stays in!

The Senate and Assembly will vote on Thursday, so we need you to act now!

What Do You Need to Do?

Call Assembly Speaker Prieto at (201) 770-1303 and use these talking points:

Thank you for your longstanding leadership and steadfast support of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Throughout the years you have always supported increasing the wages for Direct Support Professionals.
We are grateful for your leadership which has led the Assembly to include an increase for DSPs in the Budget bill.
We know we can count on you to ensure that funding remains in the final budget document.
Thank you for your support of this critical issue for so many in need!

Up Next....Stay Tuned!

There are only 3 days left in the fiscal year and we will need your help every step of the way. Thanks for all you've done and continue to do. Keep an eye out for additional alerts.
