IN YOUR WORDS
Real New Yorkers speak out against CDPA cuts

“When CDPA is threatened, it is an attack to every single community in the state of New York. I've lived in a nursing home, where “care” was a dehumanizing assembly line. I can't go back to that. I am a New Yorker too. This is not progress.”

— Michele K, New York City

“All I’m trying to do is keep
my family together.

I don’t want my son
to go to a nursing home.”

-Nancy Slomba, Rochester

“Trying to convince state government that a critical service like CDPA is being overused is trying to convince the state to violate human rights, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Olmstead decision. Living our lives in freedom is not overuse."

— Mike V, Albany
