Your Next Step to Help Win Basic Rights for Home Care Workers



Dear Friend,  

 

Thank you for taking action on Change.org last week to demand minimum wage and overtime protections for America's home care workers. You're joining Direct Care Alliance (DCA), our ally organizations, and thousands of advocates and donors across the country in this campaign to win basic labor rights for home care workers.

 

Over the next several weeks, you have a special opportunity to take part in DCA's postcard campaign. We're sending thousands of postcards to President Obama, from folks all across the country, urging him to make good on his promise to home care workers in 2013 by finalizing the proposed regulations on minimum wage and overtime protections for home care workers.

 

Please take action now to help home care workers win basic labor rights. Just reply "Yes" to this email and DCA will send a postcard to the White House on your behalf.

 

Thanks again for joining with Direct Care Alliance and taking action to strengthen our country's direct care workforce and our economy!

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Jessica Brill Ortiz
National Advocacy Coordinator
Direct Care Alliance  

 

 

P.S. Want to do even more? A donation of just $10 will help support DCA's Respect for Home Care Workers campaign.

The Direct Care Alliance is the national advocacy voice of direct care workers in long-term care. We empower workers to speak out for better wages, benefits, respect, and working conditions, so more people can commit to direct care as a career. We also convene powerful allies nationwide to build consensus for change.
