Fighting for nonprofit human service workers ACROSS NEW YORK STATE to ensure they are paid the true cost of living.
THE PROBLEM
New York State relies on the nonprofit sector – primarily women and people of color – to meet the health and human service needs of New Yorkers across the state. Despite this important mission, many nonprofit workers are living in poverty while they work to combat poverty, promote economic mobility, good health, and well-being. Workers Can’t Afford To Wait!
WHO WE ARE
We are a campaign of New York-based human service workers, executives, advocates and former leaders in government who believe a robust and systemic legislative change is necessary to ensure human service workers are paid fair wages.
OUR SOLUTION
Our goal is to pass legislation that will permanently achieve economic justice for human service workers by increasing base wages to reflect the cost of living. A true cost of living wage floor, paired with annual cost of living adjustments that reflect real rates of rising costs, is necessary to permanently change the economic trajectory for this vital work force.
