We Need YOUR Help to Pass our Human Services Workforce Bills!
Our Pro-Workforce Legislative Agenda has been filed at the State House for the 2025-2026 session! We need YOUR help to pass our legislation. Are you ready to take action?

We have introduced two bills: An Act Relative to a Loan Repayment Program for Human Services Workers (S.119H.283) and An Act Relative to a Livable Wage for Human Services Workers (S.130H.223).

You can review our fact sheets for these two bills here and here. The fact sheets are also available for download in Spanish and French.

Last year, the Conference Committee included the reporting language from our livable wage bill in its budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2025. This language calls for a report comparing wages between community-based human services workers and state workers in similar job roles which is set to be released April 1st, 2025. This will be critical in our efforts to get the livable wage for private, community-based nonprofit human services workers bill, passed!

But turning a bill into law is a difficult process, and The Caring Force needs your help in order to be successful.

Will you take five minutes today to send a pre-written letter to your State Representative and State Senator asking them to co-sponsor our two bills? Be sure to let them know if you stopped by their office at our recent State House Rally!

On behalf of our more than 32,000 members, thank you for your advocacy on these critical issues.
