On Wednesday, June 25, hundreds of AARP volunteers and staff from all 50 states descended on Capitol Hill with one powerful message for lawmakers: protect what matters most to older Americans.
The age-friendly designation comes after the administration of Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) last year launched the Aging Our Way, PA 10-year plan, which focuses on ways to help older Pennsylvanians age in their own homes and communities.
At 72, Jack Howell of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, calls Voices of Migration the best idea he’s ever had—and he has good reason to. The longtime community advocate and part of the team of the Spanish-American Civic Association never considered himself a volunteer, much less an AARP member, until a conversation about a grant application took an unexpected turn.

While too many Pennsylvanians struggle to make ends meet, the big drug companies continue to rake in billions. From cancer treatments to Epipens, skyrocketing prices are forcing too many of us to choose between buying medicine and buying food for our families. While the average annual cost of prescription drug treatment increased 57.8% between 2012 and 2017, Pennsylvanians only realized an increase in annual income of 10.4%.1 It’s time to tell our lawmakers that we need lower prescription drug prices. When we all work together, policy change happens.
