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): bit.ly/2vg9lKt #NJ #Philanthropy

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 x.com/NJSenDems/status/10128…

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
