Our state is stronger when Minnesotans with disabilities have access to the care and services they need to thrive.
Through our budget, we're working to raise wages for our caregiving heroes – including Direct Support Professionals – here in Minnesota.

The first statement @heather_edelson made today was about disability services not getting enough funding. Thank you, Representative, for being a champion for our services, our staff, and the people we support.

Thank you @MerrillBarbara for this great op-ed.
Congress needs to start backing up words with action. HCBS funding is critical, now more than ever, as we face high numbers of open positions and levels of staff burnout.

The 2022 @TheRealANCOR conference is underway! Getting updates on the federal policy landscape with the GR Committee. #Elevate22
According to @axios the "living wage" for a MN adult working full time is $16.12, according to one @MIT tool. Add a child and it's $31.89/hour to support your family.
DSPs are trying to support families on less than $15/h. This is why Disability Services are #AboutToBreak #MNLeg

To celebrate the anniversary of the ACA, we are calling on Congress to build on the ACA’s investments in #Medicaid Home & Community Based Services by investing $150 billion in HCBS. #12YearsOfACA #CareCantWait

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Disability Services Day at the Capitol. Together we accomplish so much, which is evident by the impact that all advocates had last week.

Mary had fun telling @JuliaEColeman about her next tattoo — and how difficult it is to plan this with the lack of staffing. #DisabilityServicesDay #WhyWeRally #MNLeg
