Take the Pledge, Vote

AARP is asking everyone 50-plus to pledge to vote Nov. 6—and to hold politicians accountable on critical issues such as Medicare, Social Security, prescription drug costs and caregiving.

AARP Rhode Island is encouraging turnout by distributing voter guides, monitoring candidates’ positions on issues and collecting pledge cards at events across the state. The pledge cards ask residents 50-plus to “Be the Difference. Vote.”

To help with this effort, make plans to attend a meeting of advocacy volunteers on Tuesday, Sept. 18, at 10 a.m., at the AARP state office, 10 Orms St., Providence. Parking is free. For more information or to sign up, go to aarp.org/RIVote or call 877-926-8300 toll-free.
