Advocacy

By Natalie Missakian

Men and women across Connecticut work hard to build a secure future for themselves and their families, but too many have no access to workplace retirement saving options. Soon, those employees will have a path to a secure financial retirement through automatic payroll deductions.

In advance of the September 10 primary, Bridgeport residents are invited to hear the five 2019 mayoral candidates discuss their positions on the issues that affect their families and community at the free 2019 Bridgeport Mayoral Forum at The Klein Memorial Auditorium on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 7 p.m.

AARP Connecticut está activa en las comunidades de todo el estado y trabaja con residentes y funcionarios elegidos para hacer que nuestro estado sea un lugar ideal donde vivir para las personas de todas las edades. Defendemos los asuntos legislativos que afectan a las familias, como el cuidado de los seres queridos, la seguridad financiera, la vida independiente, el cuidado de la salud, y el costo de los medicamentos recetados y de los servicios públicos. Ofrecemos información y recursos educativos valiosos para ayudar a las personas a protegerse contra el fraude y las estafas. Queremos que las personas tomen control de sus vidas y puedan vivir su vida al máximo siempre, y que puedan explorar oportunidades de empleo o la transición a una nueva carrera, entre otras cosas.
