“Congress should not leave town until they deliver for older adults and caregivers,” says USAging CEO Sandy Markwood. USAging is urging Congress to act immediately to reauthorize and fully fund the Older Americans Act (OAA) to protect the health, safety and independence of older adults across the nation. The OAA provides vital resources that millions of older adults and caregivers rely on daily, from in-home care and meals to transportation and elder abuse prevention. However, the House has dropped the bipartisan OAA reauthorization from its year-end package, putting these critical services at risk. Learn more about the urgent need for action: https://ow.ly/5bKX50Uve3U.

🛑 Take Action Today: OAA Reauthorization and MIPPA Funding at Risk! 🛑 This week, the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act (OAA) and funding for MIPPA could be dropped from Congress's must-pass spending bill. These programs are critical for supporting older adults, caregivers and Medicare beneficiaries in communities nationwide. 💡 Here’s How You Can Help: 1. Email and call your Representatives NOW to ensure these programs stay in the final spending bill. 2. Use our email template for guidance: https://ow.ly/5bXs50UumM0. 3. Share our Advocacy Alert with your networks to spread the word and mobilize action. If these provisions don’t pass before the year’s end, we face a tough road ahead in the next Congress. Let’s work together to protect OAA reauthorization and MIPPA funding!

This critical step ensures safer, more accessible and dignified airline travel for people with disabilities. This legislation—one of the final acts signed by the Biden-Harris administration—strengthens the rights of travelers with disabilities, ensuring safer and more dignified airline travel. From accessible boarding processes to improved accountability, Flying With Dignity reaffirms the need for equity and inclusion in air travel. We’re proud to support initiatives that make transportation systems work for everyone. Learn more about today’s announcement: https://ow.ly/8kEL50UsWrW.
