Senator Liz Krueger’s
Virtual Older Adult Roundtable Series
The Impact of Federal Funding Cuts on Older Adults
Session I - We Can Fight Back:
Learn How to Advocate for What We Need
Thursday, September 11th, 2pm – 3:30pm
These days, simply opening the paper, turning on the TV, or scrolling through social media can be frightening. Many older adults are worried about real and proposed cuts to funding for programs like Social Security and Medicare.
They want us to feel afraid and helpless. But knowledge is power! Learn the true facts (as of now) about the funding cuts to critical programs and services and how we can fight back effectively and reduce our stress.
Speakers:
Alison Nickerson
Executive Director, LiveOn NY
Kevin Kiprovski
Director of Public Policy, LiveOn NY
Jenna Gladfelter
Director of Community Engagement and Partnerships
Amber Christ
Managing Director of Health Advocacy, Justice in Aging
