Rally to End 24-Hour Workdays!

Please join DID and the No More 24 coalition on Friday, May 15th, at 12pm at City Hall to make a big push for Intro. 303, the No More 24 Act! This bill is sponsored by City Council and DID member, Christopher Marte.

Home attendants have been fighting for over a decade to end this brutal practice of 24 hour shifts and adding insult to injury, not being paid for 11 of those hours.

We are so close to getting across the finish line, and our movement is gaining momentum, which is why special interests have ramped up their opposition. We need to show up in numbers! 

Let’s represent! Please join us! RSVP

VID-Endorsed Candidate Carl Wilson Wins District 3! 🎉

We’re thrilled to share that VID-endorsed candidate Carl Wilson has won the special election for NYC Council District 3!

In a closely watched race across Hell’s Kitchen and Chelsea, Wilson secured a strong victory—continuing his path of public service. A longtime community advocate and former chief of staff to Councilmember Erik Bottcher, Carl brings deep local knowledge and a steady, experienced hand to the role.

This win didn’t happen in a vacuum—it’s the result of real grassroots energy. From petitioning and canvassing to phonebanking and turnout efforts, our community showed up. And in a low-turnout special election, that made all the difference.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, spread the word, and got out the vote.
Now let’s keep the momentum going—join us in helping Carl as he heads toward the June primary.

Stay tuned for ways to stay involved and support Carl as he continues building a campaign—and a coalition—that reflects District 3.

Volunteer with VID-Endorsed Campaigns

Petitioning may be over, but our work is just getting started. As we gear up for the April 28 special election and the June 23 primary, our endorsed candidates need your help to win. From canvassing and phonebanking to paid campaign roles, there are plenty of ways to plug in. Check out the VID-Endorsed Campaign Hub for the up-to-date volunteer opportunities and candidate events.

Thank you to all our petitioning volunteers!
