Did you know NYC owes #nonprofits almost $5 BILLION??? Meanwhile, human services orgs & workers keep the City running by providing lifesaving services to New Yorkers across all five boroughs. It's time for the City to step up + recognize that nonprofits deserve better! #TheHeartofNY

NYC #nonprofits need a strong #Comptroller who will ensure contracts are paid on time & will hold the Mayor accountable for how funding is allocated & spent. Luckily, the City has 2 incredible champions running for the office.

We're back with our Meet the Board series, and are thrilled to introduce you to David Condliffe!

David's work with Center for Community Alternatives will help him guide HSA as we address systemic issues facing our sector. We're so glad to have him on our team! More at www.humanservicesaction.org
On the left side of the image is a photo of David Condliffe, a white man with red hair and glasses. He is wearing a blue button down shirt. On the right side of the photo is a quote from David, stating: "“At Center for Community Alternatives, we proudly hire professionals who have been impacted by incarceration, criminalization and community disinvestment to bring the best programs and services to our communities. But across New York, human services workers doing this kind of critical labor are some of the lowest paid in our economy due to the systemic underinvestment in nonprofits. All of our community members - including those that have chosen to commit their careers to the service of others- deserve to thrive.” David Condliffe, Executive Director, Center for Community Alternatives

@marializardo.bsky.social is one of the fiercest advocates for #JustPay, the human services workforce, & NY communities – and now she's an HSA Board Member!

Hear from her how HSA will help us advance our collective goals by identifying our allies + elevating our message 👇
On the left side of the image is a yellow and blue text box that reads: “HSA will serve as a vehicle for the human services sector to identify elected officials who truly support our work and those who do not. HSA will allow us to hold those who don't support us accountable and help us to elevate the voices of our workforce who are the backbone of our organizations.” On the right side of the image is a photo of Maria Lizardo, a Latina woman with curly hair. She is wearing a red shirt.

We're glad to introduce you to Nancy Wackstein, retired Executive Director of @unhny.bsky.social! Nancy is bringing a history of leadership to her work as an HSA Board Member. Read what she has to say about the importance of HSA's work, then join our movement at www.humanservicesaction.org 👇
On the left is a picture of Nancy Wackstein, a white woman with short silver hair. She is wearing glasses and a white, collared shirt. On the right side is a quotation from Nancy that reads, “Having devoted my professional career to human services I know that none of our success would be possible without the staff members who work the front lines and behind the scenes. They deserve respect and the support and compensation that goes with that. So even though I'm "retired" this is a fight for workforce dignity and recognition about which I care deeply. And I feel HSA is the perfect vehicle for me to express that passion for justice." Beneath the quotation is written NANCY WACKSTEIN, Retired Executive Director, United Neighborhood Houses.

Meet our next HSA Board Member! Dianne Morales brings years of experience as a #nonprofit and community leader to her work with HSA and our fight to transform the human services sector for the better.

Read more and join our movement here: humanservicesaction.org 💪
A photo of Dianne Morales, a Latina woman in a blue blazer with curly dark hair, is on the left-hand side of this image. On the right side is quote from her that reads, "As a former Executive Director in human services, for years I struggled with the challenges in harnessing the power of workers in the sector. The people who keep - and kept! - the city running even at the height of the pandemic, but are paid poverty wages at best. With HSA there is finally a mechanism to fight for #JustPay, to push back against contracts that don't cover full costs, to challenge reimbursements that take months AND to hold the elected and government officials responsible for it all accountable. I am absolutely thrilled to serve on the HSA board and be on the right side of this struggle." Dianne Morales, Founder and President, StillRising
