If you have a moment, please give a listen to this @CapPressRoom with @poozer87 interview with Lindsay Miller from @NYAIL and Doug Hovey from @IndepLivInc about consumer directed personal assistance (CDPAP) and why it's so important. capitolpressroom.org/2024/04/11/pot…
Thank you @rontkim for speaking up. Creating a one FI monopoly is a TERRIBLE proposal for disabled and older NYers, home care workers in CDPA and ALL New Yorkers. @CarlHeastie @GovKathyHochul #SaveCDPA
Absolutely disgusted that @GovKathyHochul & @CarlHeastie are pushing a single FI model. Taking away choice and competition never creates savings or better service only corruption. It also shows no understanding that #CDPAisEssential. #CripTheVote #CareNotCorruption
Tell them to oppose the cuts in CDPA to one fiscal intermediary. Call Assembly Speaker Heastie at 518-455-3791 Call Governor Hochul at 518-474-8390 #SaveCDPA
We're still here to #SaveCDPA People with disabilities before profits. It's shameful what New York plans to do to a program created by and for people with different over 30 years ago. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
We appreciate @NYSenDems, @AndreaSCousins & @NYSenatorRivera who have always been champions of #CDPAP - for rejecting @GovKathyHochul's $1.2 billion in budget cuts for #CDPAP. #CDPAIsEssential 300k+ older & disabled consumers & workers thank you.

EXCITING NEWS I CAN FINALLY SHARE: @WBFO is expanding our #Disabilities Beat with a new weekly segment! You can now tune in every Wednesday during Morning Edition and All Things Considered to hear 8 minutes about disability rights, equity and culture! wbfo.org/local/2024-02-…
Jerk of the Day: This New York Police Department car has been illegally parked in the space reserved for Access-A-Ride drop-offs and pick-ups in front of BCID's office at 25 Elm Place for the last several hours. @NYPDPC @NYCMayor @StreetsblogNYC @NYC_DOT
Kevin Duggan's article gets to the heart of the matter: Lots of jerks, including NYPD and state employees, think they're above the law, and the City needs to both designate the space more clearly and enforce the law.

I’ve seen people with fantastic podcasts, huge social media presences, Pulitzers and more get laid off. It’s not about merit. It’s not about how hard you work. None of us are indispensable to Wall Street investor chuds.
No. What it comes down to is, if you wanna make it/survive, you have to make yourself indispensable. You have to be able to do 100 things. Can't just be a writer. Have to be a podcaster, a Tik Toker, a blogger. It's just reality. It sucks. It's grinding. It blows. But it's true.

Covid showed us how living in institutions and facilities can be dangerous during a pandemic, one more reason to fund services that would allow access to care at home instead. Yet, thousands of families needing state-funded #HCBS have been stuck on waitlist for years.
