Action Alert: 17,500 LETTERS SENT TO THE GOVERNOR = 65 SENIOR CENTERS SAVED - LET'S DO IT AGAIN!
Join our City Budget "Year of the Senior" Letter Writing Campaign
Senior services deserve to be a priority in the City Budget - YOU are the safety net that supports Older New Yorkers and it is time your city supports you. We need seniors, staff and board members to send letters to Mayor Bill de Blasio, Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, and Council Members to send a clear and united message: 2017 is the Year of the Senior.
Action Alert: Contact your Legislators to Push for Funding for Aging Services
Older New Yorkers and advocates have been calling, meeting and writing their legislators pushing for funding for aging services. An astounding 17,100 letters from 135 centers were sent to the Governor opposing the Title XX cuts. Seniors have been loud and clear and this has made a major difference – great work!
