Call Congress TODAY to Protect Critical Older Americans Act Programs
By March 14, Congress must either pass a final FY 2025 spending package or another continuing resolution (CR) to avoid a government shutdown. Time is running out!
Please urge your Senators and US Congressman to protect older adults last action Congress took on their appropriations bills was last summer, when the House bill proposed major cuts to critical OAA programs and modest increases to others, while the Senate bill rejected any cuts and proposed level funding for virtually all OAA programs.
Take Action Now: To prevent any funding cuts to OAA programs, please contact your lawmakers in both chambers.
Please Act Now Call or email your US Congressman and US Senators
| Sample Messaging: Dear ____, Please protect all Older Americans Act (OAA) programs and services — and oppose dangerous cuts to critical aging programs (like OAA Title III C Nutrition) and the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act’s (MIPPA). We must protect older adults who rely on the Aging Network. Thank you for being a champion for older Americans. Sincerely, |
Thank you for your quick advocacy on this vital issue! Your Voice Matters
Thank you for all you do! Julie Peetz, Executive Director
