WE NEED YOUR HELP WITH ADVOCACY NOW! https://cpstate.org/advocacy/

MOVING forward with you

We provide quality services for children and adults with disabilities to move forward to reach their highest level of independence.

Advocacy

To support your advocacy efforts, CP State has created an updated resource package, including shareable information sheets and talking points. If you have not done so already, please be sure to schedule your virtual appointments with Senators and Assemblymembers as soon as possible to take full advantage of the budget negotiation timeline. 

Fifty years ago, Geraldo Rivera’s expose revealing horrific conditions at Willowbrook State School in Staten Island shocked the nation and forever changed the treatment of people with developmental disabilities across the country. New York State Developmental Disabilities Planning Council’s new documentary, “The Path Forward: Remembering Willowbrook”, highlights lessons learned from the horrors of Willowbrook and celebrates the inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of community life.

WE NEED YOUR HELP WITH ADVOCACY NOW!

Governor Kathy Hochul released her Executive Budget Proposal and the picture she paints for our future is grim.

If enacted, nonprofit providers of supports and services for New Yorkers with intellectual and developmental disabilities will receive a mere 1.5% cost of living increase, which is NOT ENOUGH.

Please participate in our “One-Click” communication campaign and tell our State Officials to support our salaries and services for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. There is strength in numbers, so it is crucial that you participate.

Please note:
There are four issues currently on the page.
IT IS IMORTANT TO CLICK ON THE FIRST THREE ISSUES – OMIG Reform, OPWDD and Clinical Services.  The Governor addresses school funding at a later date.
The third box down is a petition to sign in support of the OPWDD programs for staff salaries – you only have to sign that once.
The last issue on the page is for Early Intervention, which we had to discontinue providing because of the lack of funding.
You will have to exit the page and re-enter to click on an additional one-click message.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!
