Calling for Home Care

We would like to invite you to the premiere of an amazing short film “Calling for Home Care”, which lifts up the home care crisis in the midst of COVID-19. The New York Association for Independent Living is releasing this film in partnership with our coalition, the NY Caring Majority, as part of our fight to demand increased wages and benefits for home care workers across the state.

Watch the film and sign the petition to tell New York State JUST PAY FOR HOME CARE IN NY!
