USE YOUR VOICE

The below story serves as a reminder of how important it is to be a voice for the voiceless.

 

In the Fox News article titled “Janice Dean Finally Testifies on NY Nursing Home Deaths, Demands Full Investigation with Subpoena Power” Dean is speaking out for residents living in assisted living or care facilities – residents who have been placed in danger due to the governor’s decision to combine healthy residents with covid-19 positive patients who have been discharged from hospitals. This is very personal for Dean as in recent weeks both her mother-in-law and father-in-law, who lived in care facilities, passed away from Covid -19.

In an interview with “Fox & Friends” Dean stated that Governor Cuomo is not willing to provide the exact number of Covid-19 fatalities in adult care facilities. Dean said “We need those numbers to move forward and help change the laws. We need an independent bipartisan investigation that involves subpoena power so we can get the health commissioner on the hot seat and ask questions and get truthful answers.”

Each of us needs to stand up, protect one another and be an advocate for the voiceless!
