Join AARP Texas as we proudly celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! This annual observance is a time to recognize and honor the rich histories, vibrant cultures, and countless contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities whose roots trace back to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Throughout the month, AARP Texas will host a dynamic lineup of events and activities across the state—highlighting the diversity, resilience, and cultural pride that shape our Hispanic heritage here in Texas.
Rodriguez assumes leadership of AARP Texas on Sept. 15 to work on behalf of AARP's 2.5 million Texas members. She will lead staff in Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and more than 400 volunteers statewide.
With nearly 2.5 million members in Texas, AARP Texas strengthens communities and advocates for what matters most to older Texans and their families, including health security, financial stability and personal fulfillment.
There’s a lot going on in City Hall around these issues in the next couple of months. If you’re interesting in hearing more about the housing and mobility challenges facing Austin, working with local community leaders and officials, and joining community discussions around these issues, here are a few upcoming events that you might want to attend.
Statement from Joe Sanchez, AARP Texas Associate State Director for Advocacy, on the Senate Committee on Business and Commerce's passage of Senate Bill 1247:
Austinites like options. We like to be able to choose to drive--or to walk. That's the focus of the Viva Streets Austin, a street festival that AARP is proud to participate in again on May 19.
Live in Fort Worth? Wondering what we're up to in your area? Have something to say to Congress about the retirement security you've worked for your whole life? This event is for you.
