Tomorrow marks the 60th anniversary of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD). This important moment reminds us of the progress made and the work still to be done in creating an inclusive, equal world for all. For International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, let’s take action! Here are a few ways you can contribute to the fight against racial discrimination: 1) Educate yourself and others about racial inequality and its impact. 2) Support organizations working to eliminate racial discrimination. 3) Amplify the voices of marginalized communities and share their stories. https://lnkd.in/ggyHWVN #CareDesignNY #InternationalDayfortheEliminationofRacialDiscrimination #EndRacialDiscrimination #ICERD60 #InclusiveCommunity #TakeAction #EqualityForAll

?? We need your voice! ??? Families, members and advocates, it’s time to stand up for the care we all deserve. The New York State proposed budget for 2025-2026 excludes CCO/HHs and doesn’t address the rising costs of care for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD). But we’re not backing down! We're fighting for a cost of living adjustment (COLA) increase and for CCO/HHs to be restored in the budget, and we need your support!

March may be National Developmental Disability Awareness Month, but at Care Design NY, we believe the importance of community, accessibility and opportunity for people with developmental disabilities should be celebrated every day! ?? This year’s theme from the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities is "We’re Here All Year." It's the perfect reminder that the work to create an inclusive and supportive environment doesn’t end when the month is over. https://lnkd.in/gzCSk9r5 #CareDesignNY #NationalDevelopmentalDisabilityAwarenessMonth #WeReHereAllYear #DDAwareness #InvolveUs #NACDDGallery #IDDCommunity
