Direct Care Worker wages have not kept up with inflation. Many DCWs are forced to work multiple jobs in order to make ends meet. We must do better. #More4DCWs www.dcwmichigan.org https://lnkd.in/gjKZByXK

Governor Whitmer's budget proposal keeps the 85¢ raise for Direct Care Workers, but it falls short by a long shot. #MiLeg must step up and prioritize these essential caregivers. #More4DCWs @brinkswinnie @sarahanthony517 @gewhitmer @repjoetate

“We need to be able to pay good people enough that they can stay.” Michigan lawmakers: You have the power to make a difference for Direct Care Workers. #More4DCWs www.dcwmichigan.org https://lnkd.in/gjKZByXK

Congress must act now to invest in child care for children with disabilities! Families nationwide are struggling to find affordable care, leading to job disruptions and economic strain. Emergency funding during the pandemic kept centers afloat, but now closures threaten the entire system. We need federal investment in worker training, collaboration with disability services, and stronger anti-discrimination oversight. Let's make child care a priority for all families! https://bit.ly/3xQwTsv #ChildCareCrisis #DisabilityRights #WeActWednesday #TheArcMichigan #CongressActNow

Turnover is a major problem facing our state’s Direct Care Workers. If these providers aren’t on the job, Michigan’s most vulnerable residents and their families will be the ones to suffer. #More4DCWs https://lnkd.in/gjKZByXK

“I just find it deeply rewarding.” Michigan’s Direct Care Workers stand ready to deliver life-changing care to residents with disabilities. But low wages make it difficult for them to justify staying in the profession. #More4DCWs www.dcwmichigan.org https://lnkd.in/gjKZByXK

State funding for Direct Care Workers isn't just about dollars and cents—it's about recognizing the value of the critical services they provide. Let's ensure they receive the support they deserve. #MiLeg #More4DCWs
