CDPAP Under Attack

Home care user and advocate Larissa Martin and caregiver Maggie Ornstein speak to Sal Rochelle about upheaval in New York’s homecare program CDPAP, after the company PPL took it over. Amidst thousands of workers missing paychecks due on April 10, and disabled New Yorkers having to call for ambulances because of homecare interruptions, they discuss actions that consumers and workers are taking to support each other and demand justice – including rallies in Latham and New York City, and virtual “water cooler hours” that service users and caregivers can join from anywhere.

Update: As of 4/16 both of Larissa’s aides have now been paid in full.
