Announcing the 2014 Concepts Gala October 30, 2014.

Mon Oct 6, 2014 7:06 am (PDT) . Posted by:

“Luda Demikhovskaya” lyudmila26

We are looking forward to celebrating with you at our 2014 Gala!
An evening of gourmet fare, fine art, education, awards and fun is coming up this October in downtown Brooklyn! Concepts of Independence will host health care leaders, managed care plans, politicians, advocates, artists, consumers and personal assistants at our 2014 Annual Gala at the Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge.
Our evening will include a cocktail hour where everyone can meet and mingle, and silent auction.
A silent auction is one that takes place during the event, in the background. The items for auction will all be displayed on a table, each with a piece of paper in front of them and a minimum bid. Guests write in their bid on the paper. Whomever bids highest by the time the auction closes (the end of the evening), receives the item and all payments are donated by to Concepts. We will be auctioning a number of exciting things, including tickets to Carnegie Hall, BAM, works from local artists and artisans, wineries, spas and more. It is looking like it will be a great time.
Then during dinner we will settle down to honor our Consumers and Personal Assistants who will be celebrating 25 years with Concepts of Independence in addition to notable advocates and leaders. Just prior to the Gala we will be hosting an educational seminar to help managed care plans and other individuals better understand the world of Consumer Direction. Gala attendees are welcome to attend this free workshop as well.
The Gala will be held on Thursday, October 30, 2014. The workshop will be from 2pm – 4pm, and the Gala from 4pm – 8pm. The whole event will take place at:
New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge
333 Adams Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 (btw. Johnson and Fulton St)
While the full ticket price is $125, which supports our cause and the cost of the event, we are happy to be able to offer our Consumers, Surrogates and Personal Assistants deeply discounted price levels as outlined below:
· Consumer tickets: $50 each
· Personal Assistant tickets: $50 each
· Surrogates & family member tickets: $100 each
While this will not cover our own costs, we feel it is important that our members are able to attend. If you wish to attend, please return the Response Card with your payment at your earliest convenience but no later than October 3, 2014. Or you can visit http://concepts.eventbee.com to purchase tickets. Please extend this invitation to all Personal Assistants, family, friends and supporters. We hope to have a very worthwhile and fun evening!
Concepts is pleased to announce this year’s honorees, who will be awarded at our 2014 Gala:

We are excited to announce that FDNY Commissioner Nigro will be at the Gala and will speak about the advances that FDNY has made in aiding people with disabilities.

Action Alert: Delay FSLA Companionship Changes so People With Di

Tue Oct 7, 2014 9:35 am (PDT) . Posted by:

“Luda Demikhovskaya” lyudmila26

Action Alert: Delay FSLA Companionship Changes so People With Disabilities & Attendants are not Hurt!From: Dave Sutliff-Atias
Delay the FSLA Companionship Changes! Take Action!
These changes will hurt attendants and people with disabilities if states don’t have more time to prepare!
On October 1, 2013, US Department of Labor (DOL) published changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act that will require state Medicaid programs to pay time-and-a-half for overtime and pay for travel time. These rules were intended to go into effect on January 1, 2015, but DOL didn’t release important guidance on critical issues until the summer of 2014. By that time, most states had already established their budgets, and without time for states to develop and fund plans to comply with the rule, they will simply cap the hours attendant can work to avoid overtime. This will:
a.. Undercut the ability of people with disabilities and seniors to live in the community,
b.. Undermine our ability to decide who comes into our homes and touches our bodies, and
c.. Hurt attendants by reducing their income.
To avoid this, advocates need time to secure state funding to pay for the overtime and travel time. To do that, the changes to the Companionship Exemption must be delayed for at least 18 months. This will give advocates and states the time they need to create an appropriate plan to comply with the changes without harming people with disabilities and attendants!
Organized labor has been pushing the Obama Administration to keep the original deadline and implement the rules on January 1st, even though they know this will hurt both attendants and attendant service users. DOL needs to hear from the disability community.
TAKE ACT

Digest 1815   [CPANYS] Digest Number 1815

 Advocacy the delay the FSLA changes is under attack!

Mon Sep 22, 2014 12:50 pm (PDT) . Posted by:

“Luda Demikhovskaya” lyudmila26
Subject: Advocacy the delay the FSLA changes is under attack!
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:55:55 +0000
The disability community has made a strong case for delaying the changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act because those changes will:
– undercut the ability of people with disabilities and seniors to live in the community,
– undermine our ability to decide who comes into our homes and touches our bodies, and
– hurt attendants by reducing their income.
We have advocated for a reasonable delay that would allow states to figure out how to pay for the changes and create mechanisms that will prevent people from ending up in institutions. Instead of working in solidarity WITH the disability community to find a solution that works for everyone, the National Domestic Workers Alliance is trying to undermine our advocacy. Here s text from an email they just sent out:
President Obama  announced that as of January 1, 2015, homecare workers would no longer be excluded from basic workplace protections like the right to earn minimum wage and overtime pay. But this historic win is under attack. Right now corporate homecare agencies are lobbying the DOL and the states to delay implementation.
Although corporate homecare agencies may be lobbying DOL to delay these rules, the National Domestic Workers Alliance is well aware that the DISABILITY COMMUNITY has been advocating as well. They understand the impact these rules will have on people with disabilities and attendants, but it is clear that Aijen Poo and the Domestic Workers Alliance don t care about that! They apparently only care about their own political agenda – and not the people who rely on these services.
DOL was on the verge of delaying the rules to allow us to address these issues at the state level, but hasn t announced the delay. It is clear that the National Domestic Workers Alliance and others in organized labor will push for implementation of these rules regardless of the impact on people with disabilities and our attendants.
We need to make sure OUR voice is heard!
LOOK FOR AN ALERT TOMORROW. Respond and then urge others to do the same.

City Of New York And Disability Advocates Announce Landmark Sett

Thu Sep 25, 2014 3:26 pm (PDT) . Posted by:

City Of New York And Disability Advocates Announce Landmark Settlement To Increase Taxicab Accessibility
Friday, September 19, 2014 – 14:27
Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP
Four disability rights organizations, the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) and the Mayor’s Office for People With Disabilities (MOPD) announced today that they have reached an historic settlement agreement to phase-in wheelchair-accessible yellow medallion taxicabs so that fifty percent will be accessible to men, women, and children who use wheelchairs and scooters by 2020. The agreement is the first of its kind in the country and would make New York’s yellow taxi fleet the most accessible in the nation and one of the most disability friendly in the world.
The agreement calls for the TLC to propose rules that, if approved following a public hearing to be held next year, will require yellow taxi fleets to replace, via attrition, at least 50 percent of taxicab vehicles with wheelchair- accessible vehicles by 2020. New York City taxicabs typically have a lifespan of three to five years, depending on how they are operated, and the 2,000 new taxicab medallion licenses that will be issued over the next several years (200 of which have already been auctioned) will count toward the 50 percent goal. The rulemaking process will determine how the remaining number will be achieved.
Currently, only 231 out of the City’s 13,237 taxicabs are wheelchair accessible. In June 2012, the City established a dispatch program enabling wheelchair users to request accessible taxicabs via 311. “The dispatch program has helped thousands of wheelchair users get a taxi, but it is not enough. Today’s agreement will bring us a truly accessible taxi fleet,” Yassky said.
Assuming the proposed disability rules are adopted by the Taxi and Limousine Commission following a public hearing, the settlement, upon approval by the federal court, will resolve a federal class action lawsuit filed in January 2011 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit was brought by a coalition of people with disabilities, including Taxis for All Campaign, United Spinal Association, 504 Democratic Club, and Disabled in Action.
James Weisman, general counsel for Plaintiff United Spinal, added that “this is going to save the City tens of millions a year in paratransit costs. Making cabs accessible is not just the sensible thing to do for the many New Yorkers and visitors to the City who use wheelchairs, it’s fiscally responsible.”
The matter is titled Taxis for All Campaign v. Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC), and was formerly captioned Noel v. TLC. Under the settlement terms, the TLC agrees to propose rules that, once approved following a public hearing to be held next year, will require the yellow taxi fleet to phase in wheelchair-accessible vehicles, as non-accessible taxis are retired, reaching a 50 percent wheelchair-accessible fleet by 2020.
The disability groups are represented by Sid Wolinsky, Julia Pinover, and Kara Janssen of the nonprofit legal center Disability Rights Advocates and Daniel Brown and Sarah Aberg of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP. The City is represented by Robin Binder and Michelle Goldberg-Cahn of the Office of the Corporation Counsel of New York City.

“Luda Demikhovskaya” lyudmila26

Disability Rights Advocates is planning an ADA Eagles and Turkeys Awards event.
I hope you might be able to assist us in identifying candidates for these awards. The Eagle awards will acknowledge businesses, organizations and persons who have advanced the rights and opportunities for people with disabilities. The Turkey awards will call out those who have resisted such progress for people with disabilities.
Please feel free to send such suggestions to me at lparadis@dralegal.org.
We are hoping to receive all nominations by October 15.
If you don’t know, DRA has taken on a number of cases in the short time since they opened their NYC office. as they focus on class action and impact litigation concerning all types of access barriers faced by New Yorkers with disabilities. Cases have included taxi and subway accessibility, accessibility of polling places, and emergency preparedness for persons with disabilities.
Thanks for your time and attention to this matter
Sincerely
Larry Paradis,
Executive Director, Disability Rights Advocates

“FESTI.BAL​L: Inclusive, Green and Social” – Barcelona May 2014

 

 Dear Colleagues & Friends,
