On Friday, September 25, over 150 advocates wearing Caring Force gold gathered at WORK Inc. for the first-ever Metro Boston Rally. Emcee Sandra McCroom, President and CEO of Children’s Services of Roxbury, kicked things off by pointing to the packed room as a sign of the coalition’s strength in the region. Workers in human services, she said, have earned fair pay, adequate program funding, and recognition for the essential care they provide every day. This rally marked The Caring Force’s last rally of the year.

On Friday, September 18, over 250 advocates in Caring Force gold filled Westfield State University for the Western MA Rally, the region’s third rally during National Direct Support Professionals (DSP) Week.

This August, we honor Tamsin McNally, a Developmental Specialist at Opportunity Works in Newburyport.
