Sign-on Petition to Legislators: Keep Your Promise to Fund LD 967*- Call a Special Session
Sign-on Petition: Keep Your Promise- Call a Special Session to Fund LD 967*
Sign the petition to ask legislators to come back for a special session to support our direct care workers and save services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (“IDD”).
Mainers with IDD are in danger of losing critical services provided by direct care workers. Due to underfunding, direct care workers currently make pennies above minimum wage to provide this vital support. If the legislature doesn’t come back and fund LD 967*, rates for services provided by direct care workers will be cut by 12% on June 30 resulting in closures of group homes and community programs for Mainers with IDD throughout Maine.
We are calling on the legislature to come back for a special session to keep their promise and fund LD 967* now before it’s too late.
