Some of our amazing Candidates Who Care endorsees are joining us next Tuesday outside of PPL’s NYC HQ to demand an end to private equity profiteering in home care & transparency over how our Medicaid dollars are spent. Join us next Tues, June 9 from 11:30 AM to 1 PM! RSVP: bit.ly/CMRPPL

If you're in CDPAP and struggling w/ the transition to PPL, come to June Water Cooler Hour this Thursday night @ 7 PM on Zoom! Our community will gather to share updates, resources, and actions as we navigate the transition to PPL. RSVP: actionnetwork.org/forms/cdpap-...

BREAKING: Home care workers, consumers & @drewforny.bsky.social delivered 'The People's Audit' to Comptroller DiNapoli's office. DiNapoli refuses to audit PPL's $11B CDPAP program, so we did it ourselves. 200k+ workers & consumers have fled the program. Workers aren't getting paid. He's done zero.

New Yorkers want “ Candidates Who Care”. Wouldn’t you!?!

Proud to be endorsed by @caringmrising.bsky.social. Together, we'll fight for a NY that works for our seniors, disabled NYers, family caregivers, and the home care workers who support our loved ones, not corporations looking to turn a profit on care.

☺️

BREAKING: Announcing our 2026 Candidates Who Care endorsement slate! These 46 candidates have committed to building a home care system that works for the people who depend on it, not Wall Street and private equity. We're proud to stand behind them. With hope, The CMR Endorsement Team

Big Announcement at noon 👀

Wonderful town hall earlier this week with @drewforny.bsky.social and 50+ Caring Majority community members. We’re excited for a new state comptroller who will hold PPL and big corporations who profit off our care accountable! Check out & support Drew at the candidate debate tonight at 7 on NY1!

Come to new member orientation!! Tomorrow (5/21) from 7-8 PM on Zoom 🫶 RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/carin...

🚨📞URGENT: We need our Medicaid. We need our home care. Governor Hochul MUST tax the rich to defend New Yorkers from Trump’s healthcare cuts & decide: our lives or her donors? 🧵 Call her using the script below: @jfrejnyc.bsky.social @socialists.nyc @dreamfornyc.bsky.social @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social

ESTA NOCHE: Acompáñanos en una reunión virtual para trabajadores del CDPAP para ayudarnos a finalizar nuestra carta de demandas. Planificaremos y definiremos estrategias sobre cómo generar apoyo para estas demandas y cómo presentarlas a los responsables de la toma de decisiones en PPL. RSVP ⬇️

TONIGHT: Join us for our CDPAP worker organizing meeting! Meet fellow CDPAP workers and help us finalize our letter of demands. We will also plan and strategize around how we will build support behind these demands and deliver them to decision-makers at PPL and in New York State later this summer.

It’s impossible to always follow every race in this city or state. When I’m trying to figure out my leanings and thoughts I always look to groups like @caringmrising.bsky.social to see what they are seeing and assessing. It cuts out the noise and the grifts. With them on Team Drew

CDAP, a good home-care program created by disabled people, has become a disaster since Hochul gave control over it to a private company, PPL. So far, DiNapoli's done nothing. @caringmrising.bsky.social is supporting @drewforny.bsky.social in part because he will audit PPL. youtu.be/drjAiTjBO3g?...

🧵‼️📣 We are proud to endorse @drewforny.bsky.social for NY's next Comptroller! We desperately need a new comptroller, especially in this moment! Trump’s Medicaid cuts are coming, and Hochul’s CDPAP crisis continues as 200k+ home care workers & consumers have fled the program since its PE takeover.

Hochul's having NYers arrested for calling on her to tax the rich. The Trump-Hochul Medicaid cuts will harm hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. Over 300,000 will go hungry from SNAP cuts. Meanwhile, NY millionaires get a $12 billion tax cut. @jfrejnyc.bsky.social @caringmrising.bsky.social

📢 HOCHUL: OUR LIVES OR YOUR DONORS? NYers are occupying the Gov’s office to demand she Tax the Rich to defend our Medicaid $ home care! Hochul must decide: lifesaving care for New Yorkers, or the interests of her billionaire donors? The cuts we’re seeing in the coming months are just the beginning.

🚨 TAKE ACTION! Almost half a million New Yorkers are set to lose Essential Plan coverage due to Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." Use this call tool to demand state leaders pass legislation to ensure New Yorkers maintain their coverage! @maketheroadny.bsky.social ➡️ win.newmode.net/protecthealt...

Today in the Bronx, we joined unions representing thousands of healthcare workers, patient advocates, partners, and New Yorkers at risk of losing their Essential Plan coverage to call on the New York State legislature to TAX THE RICH and fund healthcare.

Governor Hochul, do you care about home care workers, older adults, and people with disabilities? You are defending the wealth of the ultra-rich over our very lives. #TaxTheRich to defend 100,000s of New Yorkers from Trump’s Medicaid cuts!

Thank you, @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social !

This Passover, join me in a week of action towards collective liberation. Today, I proudly signed NY Caring Majority's petition to demand that Governor Hochul delivers a Care Not Corruption agenda for ALL New Yorkers. Join Team Lydia in signing today: www.nycaringmajority.org/petition-hoc...

🧵 Today marks one year since Gov Hochul handed CDPAP to private equity. As some of our members celebrate Passover at this juncture, we tell our PPL story, which has unraveled exactly as we had warned a year ago – worse. Here's “A Year of Loss & Destruction and the Ten PPL Plagues.”

BREAKING: Governor Hochul's Budget Director ignores home care consumer and advocate, Julie Farrar, after selling her care out to private equity-backed corporation, PPL. #SaveCDPAP

A great example of CMR responding to injustice with creativity and joy, led here by Jon McFarlane. (And btw, this is one of several reasons I address Jon as ✨Mentor McFarlane.✨)

The only good thing to come from Gov Hochul's handover of CDPAP to private equity ⬇️🎶 🔥🔥 Enjoy this hot new (and informative) release written by Caring Majority leader, Dustin Jones. Performed by Jon McFarlane and the Caring Majority Crew. Here's "A PPL Story"

Kathy came in like a wrecking ball. Yeah, she wrecked CDPAP 😔🎶

BREAKING: Home Care Transparency Act co-sponsors Senator Comrie & @votejgr.bsky.social author op-ed on CDPAP crisis “Transparency is not an obstacle to good governance; it’s the foundation...State leaders must provide more transparency and oversight for CDPAP & Medicaid funds.” A must-read ⬇️

‼️Caring Majority leader & family caregiver, Jon, gives a moving speech on the state of home & health care in NY — and what it all means to him, his 93 y/o father, and 100,000s of New Yorkers. Let's #PassNYHealth the Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act, and the Primary Care Investment Act!

Enough is enough! ~230,000 home care workers and recipients have been forced out of CDPAP since Governor Hochul handed it over to private equity-backed corporation, PPL. Why is there zero oversight over PPL’s $11 billion contract? Sign the Care Not Corruption petition: bit.ly/CareNotCorruptionNY

We are done being gaslit! Join us to shed light on the true stories that prove the CDPAP exodus is real, has harmed New Yorkers and warrants true accountability measures in this year's budget! RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/cdpap...

Let's get the Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act passed – it's a cornerstone of our #CareNotCorruption platform! New York must eliminate private insurance middlemen from home care and reinvest savings directly into home care wages and care. www.rochesterfirst.com/new-york-sta...

Statement and ACTION on legislature's egregious omission from state budget (CALL LEADERSHIP NOW TO PASS THE HOME CARE TRANSPARENCY ACT!) #SaveCDPAP #CareNotCorruption

From this week's presser at @cidnyinc.bsky.social: "It's really important for us to recognize that there are people who may not have workers. That means that they may not get out of bed, it means that they may not get dressed, it means that they may not have a shower, take their medications."(Fox5)

📢 CDPAP is collapsing under private equity control! Michael Kinnucan from Fiscal Policy Institute breaks it down. Denying home care to people with disabilities & older adults is NOT “savings." We need transparency for PPL’s $11B contract!

Have you—or someone you know—been forced out of CDPAP due to the PPL transition? DOH has gaslit NYers and denied there’s been an exodus from CDPAP despite as many as 150k workers & 90k consumers leaving the program. Share your story here or call our hotline at (518) 303-2521. Spread the word!

"This is what happens when the government gives into private equity to enrich the already-rich... Gov Hochul must not impose programs without input from the affected community. And when the affected community cries out and says, "this is not working," she must be responsive as an elected official."

These records confirm what we’ve suspected all along: state officials wanted private equity-backed PPL to take over CDPAP from the start. This is exactly why we need the Home Care Transparency Act in this year’s state budget. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @leaderasc.bsky.social

📢 TAKE ACTION: Pressure continues to grow around our urgent fight for CDPAP transparency in this year's state budget. Today, we are asking you to make TWO calls between 12-3 PM to the leaders of the state legislature, Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Heastie

THOUSANDS of New Yorkers have come to Albany to tell our legislators we need them to #TaxTheRich for universal childcare and fair wages for care workers. @caringmrising.bsky.social @ourtimefornyc.bsky.social

“Come for one, face us all! We will pass New York For All!” Marching to the Capitol with @ourtimefornyc.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social @maketheroadny.bsky.social @socialists.nyc @caringmrising.bsky.social and so many more!

Happy Tax the Rich Day! We are thrilled to be uniting with thousands of New Yorkers today in Albany! At a time when we’re facing federal Medicaid cuts, especially in the wealthiest state in the nation, we must tax the first wealthiest. We can afford to care for everybody!

😂 “I don’t believe it,” Senator Rivera [said] of the governor’s claimed savings last week. “Saying that we save $1.2B from the changes to CDPAP is like me saying Salma Hayek is my girlfriend. I’d like it to be true, but until I show up somewhere with her on my arm, it’s not.”

"It's time to stop throwing good $$ after bad, and eliminate MLTC in favor of the Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act so we can focus the $ on person-centered care people need & use instead of insurance company middlemen that takes hundreds of millions out of the system & offers nothing in return."

📢 Call your legislators for CDPAP oversight! We are pounding the pavement for CDPAP oversight in this year's state budget and are asking you to make TWO calls between 12-3 PM TODAY to your State Senator & AM! Script below and contact info for your legislators here: pluralpolicy.com/find-your-le...

"For those who need care, the administrative chaos had real-life consequences. Renee Christian...said she lost almost all her staff during the transition. "It’s making it so much harder to get the care I need. This care allows me to remain in my home, be a mother to my daughter, run my business."

"This is one of those, how do I put it, unfortunate situations where we were specifically written out of our normal role to review a program like that." New Yorkers want to know – why is the $11 billion PPL contract exempt from oversight? cbs6albany.com/news/power-a...

Home care workers Clara, Vicenta, and Santa are ready to make an impact for home care at caucus weekend :) #CareNotCorruption With Senator Rivera
