Our solidarity is our power: Join us to urge City Council to VOTE NO ON INTRO. 303!
DC 37 and our allies will gather at the intersection of Broadway and Murray to support unionized home care workers from Local 389 Home Care Employees in the fight against Intro. 303, which would ban the shifts they rely on for their collectively bargaining wages, health care, and retirement benefits.
Grab your DC 37 shirt and point your smartphone to the link in our bio to send a letter to the City Council explaining why 24-hour shifts are essential to the unionized home care workers who fulfill the needs of disabled New Yorkers and the patients themselves.
RSVP at bit.ly/4eEhoK via the link in bio - our union siblings are counting on us!
