AARP Georgia will be advocating for a state-facilitated retirement savings program for private-sector workers who don’t have access to one through their employer during the 2025-26 legislative session.
Eight Georgia entities awarded grants this year through AARP’s Community Challenge program, which funds quick-action projects to help make communities more livable. Nationally, AARP awarded $3.8 million in grants for 343 projects aimed at improving public spaces, housing and transportation, among other goals.
Across the country, more than 6.5 million veteran and military caregivers provide $14 billion in unpaid labor for America’s wounded warriors every year—putting their own financial well-being aside—and at risk.
A majority of Georgia voters agree that state elected officials should make it easier for all workers to save out of their regular paycheck – no matter their political affiliation.
Members of the LGBTQ+ community have fought for their rights yet continues to face obstacles as they age: social isolation, discrimination and limited access to health care. AARP has launched initiatives to help.
Seven local entities in Georgia won AARP Community Challenge grants this year, totaling nearly $100,000, for quick-turnaround projects that aim to increase livability.
