Victory in our fight to stop home care caps!
On February 18th, we made a difference for Missouri seniors and people with disabilities.
Home care attendants and consumers from throughout the state traveled to Jefferson City on February 18th to tell the state not to cut critical home care services for Missouri seniors and people with disabilities. We 
united with Centers for Independent Living and advocacy groups to stop a plan that would have devastated seniors and people with disabilities by capping consumers' hours at less than two hours per day-and we won! The very next day the Governor announced that he was withdrawing his proposed caps on consumers' hours.
We know that when we unite we have the strength to protect the people we care for. Even though we stopped these arbitrary caps on hours, we must stand together to make sure home care is protected and fully funded.
Our quality home care message was heard loud and clear in the Capitol and in the media:
"People with disabilities and their caregivers won a victory ... The Missouri Home Care Union praised the decision to drop the caps."-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Consumers, home-care attendants and advocates rallied at the Capitol last week to protest the measure, which the Missouri Home Care Union says would have put thousands of Missourians in harm's way"-Missourinet

Tell Governor Nixon: Don't cut home care!
Tell Governor Nixon: Don't cut home care!
The state is looking to make home care cuts that will devastate seniors and people with disabilities. We need to stop this tragedy.
Right now the state is looking to:
- Cut consumer hours to less than 2 hours a day
- Take away $15 million in funding
We have to stop these cuts. Too many Missourians count on home care to stay independent in their homes and near loved ones. These cuts threaten that care and will force thousands into more costly institutions they can't afford and don't need--while seriously damaging Missouri's Consumer-Directed Services Program. We cannot let that happen.
Join home care providers across the state by calling Governor Jay Nixon today. Tell him we're counting on him to fight for home care funding.

Home care attendants moving forward with a rerun of our election! 
The court ruled that we have a right to our union but found that an error occurred when the state requested lists of attendants eligible to vote in the election.
