In the building that #AlexanderHamilton built, in the State where #SocialSecurity was created- policy makers must forge bipartisan solutions

#DidYouKnow #SocialSecurity provides $65 billion a year to 3.4 million people? If Congress fails to act, people could see their hard-earned Social Security benefits cut by 20% or more. @BethNY kicking off today’s event with @POLITICOLive.

Too many older NYers struggle to pay utility bills. @GovKathyHochul can help sign @SenatorCCleare
@johnmcdonald108 S.8760-A/A.9369-A into law. Bill would match eligible recipients of Rx drug discount to energy affordability programs. #AARPNY @UtilityProject @nationalgridNY

In the last year, nearly 50% of older adults across the city reported experiencing food insecurity. Despite this, the Mayor’s budget guts funding to older adult meals. Ensuring food security for our older neighbors is a moral obligation and an investment in our communities.

[Monica Morales @monicamoralestv]

HIDDEN HUNGER: Seniors came to the steps of City Hall in the sun , many with their walkers, fighting for funding for food. Thank you @russellmidori

One grandma told us without her free meal, she may have to eat cat food. @aarpny @pix11news @raininc1964 @nycaging

[Council Member Crystal Hudson @CMCrystalHudson]

A message for the Rent Guidelines Board: The situation in our communities is dire.

❌In the last year, wages fell 6%.
❌20% of rent stabilized tenants are food insecure.
❌Evictions jumped 200% in 2023.

No rent increases for our communities!

#AARPNY delivered 4,000+ letters to @CarlHeastie’s #Bronx office today urging him to put prescription drug importation bill to a vote in #NYSAssembly to OK safe import of #Rx to NYS. Time is running out on 2024 session. NY needs action now! #FairRxPricesNow

[Robyn Haberman @RobynHaberman]

It was so exciting to be in the room where it happened!

[aarpny @AARPNY]

. @CarlHeastie: New Yorkers pay too much for lifesaving medication. The federal government has cleared the way for Rx importation to lower costs, and Florida’s plan has already been approved. Bring up A.7954-A for a vote now! #FairRxPricesNow @AndreaSCousins
