We are asking for ALL hands on deck! We have organized over 70 organizations to call on our legislators to Take Action! The next step in the process is a call campaign. We need to call and email every legislator (representatives and senators) asking for their support for the organization you represent and for the health and human service delivery system that provides support to adults, children, and elders.

We are working to elevate the current workforce crisis that is plaguing health and human service organizations and limiting our ability to meet the needs of our community. We need to ensure our policymakers are aware of the serious challenges organizations are facing and ask for their support and commitment to investment in this industry and workforce.

Any individual who is willing to call their representative or senator! We encourage staff, family members, consumers, friends, and concerned community members to make the calls. We need every legislator to receive minimally 25 calls from the community-- That means we need nearly 3000 calls made!

Today and over the next two weeks, we need everyone to keep this issue in the spotlight. The individuals our organizations support are counting on us to make sure our policymakers are working toward stabilizing this industry.
