LeadingAge Grassroots Connector

Part of expanding the world of possibilities for aging is advocating for policies that remove barriers to care, develop new services, improve reimbursement and make America a better place to grow old. But who's got the time to keep up with it all?  We do. LeadingAge's advocacy team tracks legislation and regulatory updates to make sure that policy makers understand how changes will impact our members and the people they serve. 

But we can't do it all without you. Your work as an advocate is crucial to motivating legislators and other policymakers.  We make it easy with a range of tools that summarize the issues, provide sample letters and help you contact your members of Congress. Visit here often to engage in advocacy that will create the future of aging services.
