More than 48 million Americans, including 74,000 here in the District, are family caregivers. It is one of the most important jobs we will ever do, and one of the most difficult. Family caregivers help their older parents, spouses and other loved ones live independently – managing medications, preparing meals, helping with bathing and dressing and so much more.
Throughout 2024, AARP DC continued to advocate for policies to empower District residents to improve their lives and choose where and how they live as they age. AARP DC has a long history of supporting older District residents who want to live independently as they age. This year, AARP DC fought for issues that matter most to seniors, their families and caregivers.

"AARP New Jersey commends Governor Murphy for signing legislation to establish the Target Zero Commission, which will evaluate traffic safety and support the design of a transportation system with the goal of eliminating fatal and serious injuries for all road users. AARP has a vested interest in this issue since people 50 and older represented the majority of 2024 pedestrian fatalities. It is our hope that this important commission will make our roads safer for everyone."
