Thanks to @CTHouseDems & @cthouserules for passage of HB5001, an important bill for improving home and nursing home based care in CT! Our volunteers loved being there for the bipartisan effort spearheaded in the Aging Committee & prioritized by @MattRitterCT. Senate vote up next.
Happy to be with @AARPCT volunteers at the Labor Committee today to support legislation to expand paid sick days. Current CT law doesn’t cover a majority of our state’s family caregivers, who are critical to keeping their loved ones safe and healthy. #teamaarp
AARP Connecticut outlines priorities for 2024 legislative session. Will work with legislators on the important issues facing our state and urge all sides to create policies that make Connecticut a more affordable place to live, work & retire. Learn More at https://t.co/ztluAZo1Pe
Thanks to @SeanScanlonCT for joining our volunteers today as we review the 2023 legislative session & plan for 2024! Retirement security, affordable Rx drugs & more are top of mind! @AARPadvocates@JohnValleyGuy@aedoroghazi
Yesterday, I went to Target, and the cashier told the person ahead of me that their purchase totaled $23.19. A full day later, I'm still proud of myself for not yelling out, "we have a 2319!" even though I really wanted to.
Safer streets for all are possible but will take coordination, community engagement, and political will. It was encouraging to have 100+ advocates, legislators, and community leaders join us for a conversation about designing - and CREATING - better roadways for all users.
It was a beautiful day on Capitol Hill, and @aarpct staff joined colleagues from around the country to visit members of Congress & share information about family caregiving and other issues that matter most to older adults. #AARPHillHike
🙌 AARP staff from around the country were in D.C. today to meet with members of Congress about the issues that matter most to older Americans and their families. 💪

Excited to be in New Haven today at @SNEAPA with @MayorElicker to hear @DrUrbanPolicy talk about our Livable Communities work and housing for an aging population. Stop by the @AARPCT table to say hi to me and volunteers Pat & Barbara. #teamaarp
Another beautiful day outside with @AARPCT for DominGO in Hartford. Stop by and share your your ideas for how to make your community an even better place to live for people of all ages (and learn about Social Security while you’re at it). #teamaarp
Me: Ugh! Why does everyone in New England lose their mind every September and act like they’ve never experienced autumn before?
Also me: *drives out of her way to look at a fancy steam-powered cider press and spend $1 million on apple-based beverages and pastries*
A little rain can’t keep @AARPCT from having a great day at @mysticseaport ! We’re here until 3pm with info about our Social Security campaign. Missed us today? We’ll be back 10/24, and tickets are still available: https://t.co/B5q3kQojxj
