🚨 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

“I don’t believe them,” Sen. Health Comm. Chair Rivera told POLITICO. “Regardless of how you feel about the transition, I need to see what these savings are actually like. I don’t believe that these savings were actually achieved, particularly considering these ppl didn’t disappear into the ether."

There is far too much at stake for New York NOT to Tax the Rich!!!! (Who recently got tax breaks from the federal gov’t as Medicaid gets slashed!)

🧵 We were proud to endorse @delgadoforny.bsky.social because he took the time to listen to our members - older and disabled New Yorkers, family caregivers and home care workers, and to fight for a New York that provides health care and home care for all.

"What are the main transparency concerns w/ PPL?" Ilana, NYCM: "Y'know, just basic reporting that you’d want from a $11B contract w/ a company that hasn't done business in NY before, has history of massive wage theft lawsuits & ppl leaving the program, & selects a fraudster insurance provider" 🔥

NOW: After refusing to address concerns about private equity running our home care system, NYSDOH - New York State Health Department Commissioner McDonald runs up the back stairwell after the first leg of the Health Budget Hearing. What is he hiding? We need oversight of PPL's $11 billion contract!

We'll say more later but want to express our deep gratitude for your principled campaign, @delgadoforny.bsky.social! It was important & refreshing to have a candidate for governor who stands by people with disabilities, older adults, & home care workers. Onward to a more caring NY! ❤️

Wondering what DOH Commissioner has to say for himself as the CDPAP program collapses under private equity control? Follow along with us here today for the Joint Legislative Budget Hearing on Health & Medicaid! Our Political Director, Ilana, will also be testifying!

Good time as ever to re-up this: "Aren't people tired of me asking why Governor Hochul hates me, all disabled people, and CDPAP program participants? I'm certainly tired of asking." –Geri Mariano

🧵🚨 Make 1 phone call NOW to your State Senator to urge them to fight for common sense oversight & transparency measures in this year’s state budget! Home care workers are going w/o pay & consumers are losing their home care while PPL goes w/o oversight for it's $11 B contract. Script below ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

You cannot claim to be on the side of labor if you sabotage a union strike. The governor has repeatedly extended an executive order letting hospitals bring in visiting nurses, gutting the strike’s leverage. @nynurses.bsky.social deserve fair contracts. jacobin.com/2026/02/gove...

V alarming — and no surprise to us. Home care workers & recipients have been denied transparency on how a $9B contract was handed to a failed PE company, or how that $ is spent. @delgadoforny.bsky.social demanded transparency, & he isn’t taking $$ from corporate PACs! nysfocus.com/2026/01/20/h...

Today, I am proud to announce India Walton as my running mate in our campaign to become the next Governor and Lieutenant Governor of New York.

ICYMI— “Our previous FI was a nonprofit in our community. We had a single point of contact…I had excellent benefits as his care worker,” said Nicole Demme of Erie County. “Everything about it has been difficult.” Collapsing care isn't "savings" www.wxxinews.org/new-york-pub...

Zohran won't be able to deliver universal childcare or fast & free buses unless we tax the rich. Phara's and John's bill is 1 of 3 we need to make that happen. FYI: Governor Hochul is opposed to all 3 bills; @delgadoforny.bsky.social supports all 3. www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026...

“30-year-old disabled US citizen dies after father taken by ICE at routine check-in. Wael Tarabishi had Pompe disease and relied on his father, Maher, for daily care.” abcnews.go.com/US/disabled-...

Geri Mariano asks at Assembly Westchester Budget forum: “How are we supposed to trust that there isn't waste, fraud, and abuse in this new system with less oversight than what we had before?” Geri also reminds us that fraud in CDPAP is extremely low, just 0.002% of workers in 2022 (OMIG)

When it comes to home care, New York's Medicaid funds should go directly to the care providers, not to a single LLC owned by private equity firms. But that's exactly what Governor Hochul has done—and it's one of many reasons that @caringmrising.bsky.social has endorsed Antonio Delgado for governor.
