Advocacy

By Nancy Johnson

Mass transit is a critical piece of the community puzzle in Indianapolis. Reliable bus service means that your friends and neighbors can get to their jobs, that your parents and grandparents can get to doctor’s appointments and the grocery store, and that members of the community can access shopping centers and businesses – all of which contributes to the economic strength of our city. AARP fully supports the Marion County Transit Plan – a plan that will provide additional funding for the expansion of mass transit in Marion County. Want to know more? Come ride the bus with AARP! Every Friday, AARP staff and volunteers meet at the Transit Center in Indianapolis to ride the bus and experience first-hand the challenges and opportunities that face bus riders in Indianapolis. We’d love for you to join us!

This week, AARP Indiana headed to Washington, D.C. to advocate on behalf of AARP members and all older Americans on the crucial issues of Family Caregiving and Social Security. State Director Sarah Waddle and State President Joe Everett advocated for family caregivers as well as Social Security while meeting with Members of Congress and carrying out crucial asks.
