Home Care workers from across Virginia are coming together tonight for a virtual Town Hall on what we need to stay safe while we care for older adults and people with disabilities during a pandemic. Follow along here. #ProtectAllWorkers #GetMePPE

“Our clients need us. Our community needs us. But we have needs too. We need #PPE. We need #PaidLeave. We need living wages. And if we don’t get what we need to stay healthy, then hospitals are going to be overrun.” - Elizabeth, Home Care worker. #ProtectAllWorkers #GetMePPE

“I’m calling @GovernorVA every day. Please join me. Please call and ask for the #PPE and #PaidLeave and raises we need as home care workers.” - Elizabeth, Home Care worker. #ProtectAllWorkers #GetMePPE

“I’m caring for my mother. She needs full time care. I’m worried about her. She stopped eating but they tell me not to bring her to the hospital. It’s scary.” - Marta, Home Care worker from Winchester. #ProtectAllWorkers

“My mother needs full time care but we only get 35 hours a week. That’s not enough. We need $15 per hour to get the home care workers we need. To be ok.” - Marta, Home Care worker and concerned family member. #Fightfor15 #RaiseTheWageVA

“It’s frustrating. It’s upsetting. It’s not fair that home care workers have to get our own #PPE. I guess if it doesn’t directly impact politicians, then they don’t care.” - Richmond home care worker

“We have to be able to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others. Its that simple. That’s why I need that #PPE.” - Tony, home care worker. #ProtectAllWorkers #GetMePPE

“I’m going to be a voice for my clients and for myself. I need #PPE. My client needs more hours. And I’m going to keep speaking out.” - Tony, home care worker. #GetMePPE #ProtectAllWorkers
