Below is a message from the Coalition for a DSP Living Wage.
Dear Coalition for a DSP Living Wage:

We need your voice! Governor Murphy and his Administration are already making decisions about funding priorities for next year. NOW is the time to tell him why salary increases for DSPs MUST be included in the Fiscal Year 2021 budget.

As the year winds down, we are asking Coalition members to participate in a picture campaign telling Governor Murphy not to forget us and to make competitive DSP wages a funding priority. It’s essential he see the faces of the thousands of people across New Jersey who care about this critical issue. 
 
Here’s what to do:

1).  Print template:  Print and sign your name to the bottom of the message to Governor Murphy.  Click here for template .

2).  Take picture:  Have someone take a picture of you holding the template.

3).  Upload and post:  Post the picture on your social media pages with the message below. Twitter is preferred, but Facebook will also work:

A #StrongerFairerNJ means competitive wages for DSPs – every time NJ’s minimum wage is increased, DSP wages MUST be increased as well #IndexDSPWages #WeCantWait @GovMurphy @NJDHS @NJDSPCoalition

Feel free to write your own post, but please be sure to use #IndexDSPWages and tag @GovMurphy and the @NJDSPCoalition in your message, so that we can track and share.

4).  Share   with friends:  Share the picture template with your colleagues, friends and family and encourage them to participate, tagging @GovMurphy and using #IndexDSPWages #StrongerFairerNJ #WeCantWait. The more faces online, the stronger our message to the Governor!

Don’t Have a Twitter Account or Facebook Page?
You can still participate if you don’t have social media pages or would prefer not to post on your personal sites.  Just email your picture to   libby@absnj.com  and your picture will be posted on the Coalition’s social media pages.

Thank you!
