We're the Caring Majority, and we're ready to win big this year! This weekend, 80+ Caring Majority leaders joined in Albany and virtually for our annual grassroots member leader retreat – it was a huge success! We left with a shared understanding of what we're fighting for, the landscape we're fighting in, and a plan for building power across New York so we can win a home care system that works for us, not for corporations.

Incredible worker meeting last week. This is what it looks like to build power for home care workers and family caregivers, and how we’ll win fair pay and end the PPL monopoly. Stay tuned for more updates and ways to get involved, coming very soon :)

"The fact that workers were not getting paid at all or on time by PPL had a devastating effect on both workers and consumers. In our membership alone, we had 3 members die because they could not get the care they needed." ➡️ Our Political Director, @Ilanalee7 on private equity in home care at @cornellilr

💯, @NYHealthCommish

NEW: @TeamUpturn analysis of NYCM survey data lays out exactly how PPL has failed New York's home care workers and consumers under its $1 billion state contract. "It can take up to 12 tries" just to clock in. Unpaid wages. Dead-end phone lines. Great resource to explain why choice MUST be restored to CDPAP! upturn.org/work/ppl-cdpap/

Thanks @HelloDCWP Commissioner @saalevine for meeting with Caring Majority leaders to discuss the most pressing issues faced by NYC’s home care workers & consumers. Home care work is the largest job category in NYC. We look forward to further collaboration to ensure the City uses its full power to protect our community!
