The Affirmation of Senior Rights
As a proud member of AARP, I hereby affirm that every American senior should be guaranteed basic rights, including:
Freedom from Hunger so no senior goes without enough food or is forced into the impossible decision of choosing between buying groceries and paying for needed prescriptions or medical care.
Income Security for 50+ working families caught in a downward spiral due to job loss, increasing debt and disappearing savings.
Adequate Housing for poor and low-income older adults at risk of losing their homes and those unable to afford housing that meets their physical and safety needs.
Freedom from Isolation to protect seniors against the devastating impacts of being cut off from their family and social circles -- including higher rates of depression, chronic disease, and premature death.
Moreover, I am doing my part to secure those rights by supporting AARP Foundation's work and helping vulnerable seniors in my community and nationwide.
