The Governor Wants to Cut
Homecare Again!

Workers tell the Governor to "Have a Heart. Protect Homecare."
Photos by Priscilla Moll
Workers protesting.On Friday, February 11, about 30 UDW home care workers joined hundreds of home care workers in statewide rallies in Riverside and Sacramento. We rallied with California's elderly and people with disabilities, their family members, home care providers and supporters at the Governor's Riverside office and at the State Capitol in Sacramento to tell the Governor: "Have a Heart. Protect Home Care." Home care workers and recipients attached their photos and signed hundreds of hearts to be given to the Governor, to remind him of those whose lives will be affected by the home care cuts. At the same time, activists also held a rally at the Governor's office in Los Angeles.
