"The work of human services workers isn’t just essential, it is INCREDIBLE. You do the unimaginable every day, the very least New York can do for you is a pay a fair wage." -Our Executive Director Michelle Jackson closes out with a special message for human services workers. #JustPay

Queens Community House @qchnyc.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

It’s simple: equal work deserves equal wages. Despite this, nonprofit human services workers earn 30% less than City workers — for the same job. We’re rallying for @mayor.nyc.gov and @council.nyc.gov to change this. Pass Int 0452 to close the pay gap and advance true #JustPay for our workforce!
