The Alliance to Protect Home Care, along with Consumer Directed Action of New York (CDANY), invites you to a rally to save CDPAP on Wednesday, November 13th, at West Capitol Park in Albany, NY at 11 AM.
WHEN: Meet at 11:00 AM on 3/26
WHERE: Herbie’s Burgers (formerly McDonald’s) in the Empire State Plaza Concourse.
WHAT: Rally & Visibility Actions to ensure independent living and CDPA priorities are in the final budget
Lunch vouchers will be provided!
If you want to help but can’t make the 26th, our allies in the Caring Majority have an opportunity on the 25th, and we will be seeking people to do visibility on the 27th and 28th, as Legislators and the Governor potentially finalize the budget. But the main focus is on the 26th, and we need everyone we can get.
Let’s rise up together, make our collective voice heard, and make sure community-based services are prioritized in this year’s budget. Join us in Albany.
