AARP Pennsylvania Goes to Capitol Hill

On Wednesday, June 25, hundreds of AARP volunteers and staff from all 50 states descended on Capitol Hill with one powerful message for lawmakers: protect what matters most to older Americans.

AARP Pennsylvania’s team met directly with members of the Commonwealth’s Congressional Delegation to urge action on critical issues, including protecting Social Security, strengthening support for the nation’s 48 million family caregivers, and defending Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

AARP staff members Angela Foreshaw-Rouse, Bill Johnston-Walsh, Teresa Osborne and TJ Thiessen were joined by AARP Pennsylvania state volunteer President Nora Dowd-Eisenhower as they visited 13 members of Congress, and live-vlogged the advocacy experience.
