The Caring Force, the grassroots advocacy initiative of the Providers' Council, empowers supporters of the human services sector to drive meaningful change. Our mission is to create a stronger Massachusetts—one that protects our most vulnerable neighbors while ensuring human services workers receive the pay, recognition, and respect they deserve.
Update on Amendment #429
Unfortunately, amendment #429, “Promoting the Human Services Workforce,” that was based on our livable wage bill, was dropped from the final bill text of House Bill 5562, otherwise known as the economic development bill, alongside over 700 other amendments.
Amendment #429 to H.5562 Needs Your Rep’s Signature!
We are asking every Caring Force member to reach out to their state representative today and ask them to sign on to Amendment #429 to H.5562, the economic development bill, which is being debated in the House TOMORROW on Wednesday, July 8th!
