Pasadena, CA – AARP California is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Murray as the new State Director, effective June 23, 2025. Michael brings more than 35 years of experience in leading diverse teams within AARP at the local, state, and national levels in pursuit of the Association’s mission to enhance the quality of life for all as they age.
With 3.2 million members in California, AARP California strengthens communities and advocates for what matters most to older Californians and their families, including health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment.
It’s simple. All Californians should have access to affordable life-saving drugs. That is why AARP is asking you to call your State Senator toll-free at 844-266-7971 and urge them to VOTE YES on AB 824.
By 2035 the United States will be a country comprised of more people older than 65 than people under 18. That reality motivates AARP every day to ask questions about how we are adjusting to this coming change. Are we building communities that include housing for all income levels, accessible and affordable transportation options, safe parks and public spaces, networks to prevent social isolation, and so on? These components not only benefit older adults, they create great places for people of all ages and all abilities to live and thrive. Through an extensive analysis process, AARP has concluded Measure B does not address the above mentioned qualities.
California becomes the eighth state in the nation to join the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, a commitment to make the state more livable for people of all ages and abilities.
The newly published AARP CA Listening Report: Rebuilding the Social Compact on Housing for All Californians highlights impediments and solutions to California’s housing crisis, as well as where AARP can position its resources and support to effect change.
AARP’s unwavering commitment to the LGBTQ community reflects our core belief in the dignity, worth, and potential of every individual.
