"The work of human services workers isn’t just essential, it is INCREDIBLE. You do the unimaginable every day, the very least New York can do for you is a pay a fair wage." -Our Executive Director Michelle Jackson closes out with a special message for human services workers. #JustPay

It’s simple: equal work deserves equal wages. Despite this, nonprofit human services workers earn 30% less than City workers — for the same job. We’re rallying for @mayor.nyc.gov and @council.nyc.gov to change this. Pass Int 0452 to close the pay gap and advance true #JustPay for our workforce!

Live outside City Hall! QCH is alongside @hscny.bsky.social and so many nonprofits rallying for human services wage equity! #JustPay

Students are counting on you to #SaveLTW in the Executive Budget, @mayor.nyc.gov. Last month, we rallied to show how vital this program is. We know you care, and that’s why we will all be back outside Thursday calling for sustained funding. #WeAreLTW 📍Steps of City Hall, NY, NY ⏰ 4/30 at 12:45PM

Learning to Work provides mentorship and real-world experience that helps young people reach their full potential. After rallying at the Tweed Courthouse a few weeks ago, our message is clearer than ever: this program is essential. Join us outside City Hall 4/16 @mayor.nyc.gov. #SaveLTW #WeAreLTW

#JustPay means #JustPay for ALL human services workers. Despite this, several programs are left out of receiving critical State funding. @governor.ny.gov you can cut the red tape preventing thousands from receiving inflation investments — act now! nysfocus.com/2026/03/25/h...

New York’s Safety Net Workers Push for a Bigger Bump in Contracts

Learning to Work changes lives—giving young people a second chance and a real path forward. But it needs sustained investment to continue. We know you care @mayor.nyc.gov, and that’s why we’ll be outside City Hall today at 1PM to make our voices heard. #SaveLTW 📍 Steps of Tweed (52 Chambers St)

Many students are counting on NYC to #SaveLTW, a program giving young adults the support they need to succeed in school and beyond. 🚨 We know you care @mayor.nyc.gov. We’ll be outside City Hall Thursday 3/21 at 1PM calling for sustained funding. Will you stand with us? #WeAreLTW 📍52 Chambers St

Ahead of the blizzard, QCH mobilized to make sure homebound older adults across Queens had fresh meals in hand before the storm hit. ❄️💙 Supervisors, case managers & drivers worked all weekend to coordinate early deliveries — because a snowstorm should never mean an empty table. #QCH50Years

From childcare to housing, @mayor.nyc.gov’s priorities need nonprofits to succeed. We stand ready to deliver. But we also need real support from City Hall to do so. Learn how transforming the contracting system will boost prosperity for all New Yorkers: www.cityandstateny.com/sponsors/spo...
