ACTION ALERT ~ Help Stop Service Program Closings
|
|
|
|
Dear Developmental Disability Friends,
We love it when the minimum wage goes up and the hard-working, under-paid professionals who care for people with disabilities get a little more in their pay checks.
The problem is that the State sometimes doesn’t cover the costs to the community agencies that hire and pay these dedicates workers. Most of our community agencies are always on the financial edge, and a minimum wage increase - with no money to pay for it - sometimes forces service programs to shut their doors.
This is an especially major problem now, with local governments throughout the State raising their minimum wages. Many services for people with disabilities could be crushed.
Please take about 40 seconds today to send one e-mail supporting Assembly Bill 279 by Assemblymember Chris Holden to make the State cover these costs and save these service programs. Just click here and follow the prompts.
These point-and-click e-mails are easy, and legislators know it, so it can take a lot of them to make a difference. Please take the time to do it now.
And thank you for your advocacy.
Greg
