Meet Marlena | Queens Community House

Marlena of QCH is one of 125,000 human services workers in NYC who keep our communities strong but have long been undersupported by City and State governments. This is Marlena's story. #JustPay is at the center of an equitable human services sector and healthy NYC. It’s time for us to stand up for the 125,000 human services workers who keep our communities strong. On May 25, QCH will be joining Human Services Council and several human services nonprofits for a Day Without Human Services. We will pause services for a day to draw attention to the City's underpayment of their workers. We will rally for a 6.5% COLA for human services workers in the City budget. Join us near City Hall at the intersection of Murray St. and Broadway Ave. at 11am on May 25!
