It’s simple: equal work deserves equal wages.
Despite this, nonprofit human services workers earn 30% less than City workers — for the same job.
We’re rallying for @mayor.nyc.gov and @council.nyc.gov to change this. Pass Int 0452 to close the pay gap and advance true #JustPay for our workforce!

Despite this, several programs are left out of receiving critical State funding.
@governor.ny.gov you can cut the red tape preventing thousands from receiving inflation investments — act now!
