If there was ever a picture of #MondayMotivation - this is it! Keep sending in those 15-30 sec videos to libby@absnj.com that explain why #WeCantWait for #PayFair4DirectCare -$54-million is needed in FY2020 to raise DSP wages!

What gets a group of people with disabilities on the move? Ask 53-year-old Newark resident, Saudia, that question and you’ll hear about The Arc of New Jersey Healthy Lifestyle Program (@thearcofnj): https://t.co/xy8GBuEOYV

We promised $20 million for a Direct Support Professional living wage. We delivered $20 million for a Direct Support Professional living wage. #PromisesDelivered #SharedValues #NJDemocraticPriorities
Direct Support Professionals provide crucial assistance to people with physical and intellectual disabilities. They should be paid fairly for their hard work, which is why the Legislature’s budget gives them a much-needed-and well-deserved- raise. #FundingOurFuture #NJforEVERYONE
