Volunteering

‘Progressive deterioration until death’

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AARP’s national accountability campaign ‘ Take a Stand ‘ is well underway here in Florida, and our staff and volunteers are working hard to pressure candidates into telling voters how they would update Social Security for the 21st century and keep the promise for future generations. We want our leaders to make Social Security a priority and to put serious proposals on the table. If lawmakers fail to take action, Social Security benefits could be reduced by 25 percent by 2034, and future retirees could lose up to $10,000 a year in benefits.

Working with AARP Florida as a volunteer, or even working with AARP as a staff member, can offer a lot of new experiences. Just ask volunteer Monica Stynchula or Associate State Director for Jacksonville Justine Conley.

AARP Florida State Director Jeff Johnson has appointed Donna L. Ginn of Miami as the new volunteer state president of AARP Florida.

It’s hard to believe, but Election Day is just right around the corner — and the candidates are hunting for your vote. But as they roll out the same speeches and soundbites about important issues like the future of Social Security, it seems like many have forgotten what’s really at stake here: Your money, your future, and the futures of your children and grandchildren.

AARP Florida Take a Stand has some exciting news for you! We’re kicking off summer 2016 in a big way with the opening of our three Florida headquarters.
