Today, AARP announced the launch of ‘ Stop Rx Greed,’ a nationwide campaign aimed at lowering prescription drug prices. The goal of AARP’s sustained campaign is to help drive down drug prices for Idahoans and all Americans by advocating for a variety of legislative, executive, and regulatory actions at both the federal and state level.

We know that it takes time to build great communities. But, we also believe that quick action can spark longer-term progress. AARP launched the AARP Community Challenge to fund projects that build momentum for change in communities to improve livability for all local residents.

AARP members & non-members are invited to a free screening of BLACKkKLANSMAN, nominated for six Academy Awards and four AARP Movies for Grownups Awards!

Now in its fourth year, New Knowledge Adventures (NKA) is a lifelong continuing education program for older adults designed to offer exceptional learning, exploration and fellowship opportunities in a comfortable and non-competitive academic surrounding. It's a great way to learn something new and make friends along they way.

On February 11, AARP Idaho staff and volunteer advocates from around the state will gather at the Capitol representing the more than 185,000 AARP members in Idaho. AARP is the largest organization with a membership in the Gem State.

Two years ago AARP Idaho began offering Movies for Grownups for movie fans around the Gem State. It's an opportunity for AARP members and their guests to enjoy complimentary screenings of Hollywood’s biggest hits. Hundreds of Idahoans have enjoyed a night out on the town watching some of the best movies of the year.

What if all homes could be suitable for anyone, regardless of a person’s age or physical ability? What if a person who wants to live independently, regardless of his or her age or physical ability, could do just that?

AARP members are invited to spend a fun, sociable and informative day at the state Capitol on Monday, February 11, 2019 for AARP Idaho Lobby Day from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

AARP Idaho volunteer network meetings resume in January and that means a new legislative session and an opportunity to make your voice heard.
