🎉 Today marks the 34th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)! 🎉 On this day in 1990, the ADA was signed into law, paving the way for greater accessibility, inclusion, and equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities. This landmark legislation has transformed lives, breaking down barriers and fostering a more inclusive society. At Liberty Resources, we are proud to continue advocating for the rights and independence of people with disabilities, carrying forward the spirit and vision of the ADA. Join us in celebrating this important milestone and honoring the progress made over the past 34 years. Together, we can continue to create a world where EVERYONE can thrive. #ADA34 #DisabilityRights #Inclusion #LibertyResources #EmpowerIndependence #CelebrateADA #AccessIsACivilRight #Access #Accessibility #AccessibilityMatters

Homecare workers, like all healthcare workers, deserve livable wages that reflect the value of the dignity and independence they provide to those they care for. ✍️ Sign the petition: https://lnkd.in/eq6RSxdb #CareOverProfits #SupportHomeCareWorkers #LivableWage #dignity #independence #PAHomeCare #caregivers

We demand DIGNITY, FAIR WAGES, AND INDEPENDENCE! Seniors and people with disabilities deserve access to safe, quality, and dignified care at home. But right now there is only 1 homecare worker for every 6 people who need care. We won’t have enough caregivers for as long as caregivers earn poverty wages, no time-off, and no retirement. Pennsylvania must invest in the care workforce now! Governor Shapiro renewed his call for a $15/hour minimum wage at his budget address. But there wasn’t a call to invest in livable caregiver wages right now. We don’t have to wait: Our elected representatives can pass a budget that increases home care funding and guarantees livable wages for caregivers! JOIN US IN HARRISBURG ON MARCH 20TH to demand fair wages for caregivers and quality care at home! 8:45 a.m. | Meet at the Main Rotunda, Pennsylvania State Capitol 9:00 a.m. | Rally 10:00 a.m. | Lobby Visits Reasonable accommodations will be provided upon request including ASL interpretation by March 14th. Please email [email protected] to request an accommodation. Every Pennsylvanian deserves access to safe and quality care, dignity, and independence. Together we can use our power and voice to demand the change so that there is a caregiver available for every person who needs this care!
