AARP California

In the early 1900s, the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma, now called "Black Wall Street," was a vibrant and prosperous community. Despite the challenges and racial injustices they faced, residents of this community built a thriving neighborhood filled with successful Black-owned businesses, attorneys, doctors, and real estate agents. Their achievements were nothing short of remarkable and served as a beacon of hope for Black Americans nationwide.

Impostor scams were the second most common type of fraud in California last year, where criminals use the anonymity of the internet to pose as a friend, romantic prospect or government agency.

AARP California’s new podcast, which airs topics vital to older adults and state residents of all ages, has two compelling presentations on tap for March.

Women's History Month is underway, and we're excited to celebrate the ground-breaking contributions of amazing women to communities nationwide. Originating as Women's History Week in 1981, March was officially dedicated to honoring women's achievements in 1987. And AARP joins in the nation in celebrating women for their leadership, mentoring, and dedication to their communities in ways that have changed the course of history.

Join AARP California as we celebrate local black leaders in California and see how they’ve made a difference in their communities. Gloria Brown is one of the founders of the Bay Area Community Health Advisory Council which works to eliminate disparities through innovative models of self-education and service. She has also worked with the San Mateo Police department to create an Alzheimer’s training program for officers.

We may celebrate love and romance on Valentine’s Day, but sometimes it can make people feel lonely, vulnerable, and isolated. Many turn to popular dating sites looking for love, companionship, and connection. But instead of finding that special someone, they could meet a scammer just waiting for the chance to take advantage of them emotionally AND financially!

Join AARP California for a series of informative online presentations as well as some local events in Los Angeles and Sacramento.

Roses are red, violets are blue, we'll be your date this Valentine's Day! Join us this month for fun, educational in-person and virtual events. The events are FREE and advanced registration is required.
