The clock is ticking.

Posted by: Kevin B. Gilnack, Campaign Manager

Next week, Governor Deval Patrick will deliver his State of the Commonwealth address and release the FY '13 Budget, outlining the direction Massachusetts will take in the coming year.

The budget will determine how much funding is available for state programs, and the human services sector faces a real threat of further cuts to our already under-funded services.

We need everyone's voice to make sure Governor Patrick knows we're serious about protecting our most vulnerable neighbors and ensuring that human services professionals receive fair wages.

Take a moment to speak out now and help us ensure Massachusetts residents continue to have the support of a strong and robust human services sector.

The Caring Force has sent hundreds of letters to legislators and to the governor's office. Now with the budget deadline looming, we need to make sure our priorities are at the top of the governor's list.

Get your friends, family and co-workers involved by asking them to add their voices. Share the message on social media or use our email tool to send the message to your contacts.

Together we can illustrate the incredible force for good of our human services community.

Thank you for your continued advocacy!
