AARP Oklahoma Take Action Advocacy Resources

AARP Oklahoma advocates for the needs of Oklahomans age 50 and over, as well as their families. We fight for the issues that matter to our members, ensuring your voice is heard at both state and federal levels. Each legislative session and throughout the year, our volunteers and staff work diligently on issues important to members and Oklahomans age 50 and above.

We advocate on issue areas such as protecting Oklahomans against financial fraud, scams and abuse; family caregiving; expanding access to home- and community-based services; improving the quality of care in long-term care settings; fighting to prevent unfair residential utility rate hikes, the development of livable communities and supporting programs that improve health and financial security.

SOCIAL SECURITY

AARP is fighting to protect and strengthen Social Security people 50-plus have paid into and earned through years of hard work. Oklahomans work hard every day, year after year, paying into Social Security and counting on those hard-earned dollars to be there at retirement. It's money Oklahomans are owed and money that one-third of our older neighbors depend on to get by.
