Next month marks 90 years of Social Security. While the world looks a lot different now, one thing is the same: ✨ Hardworking Americans have earned their Social Security! ✨ Take a minute, and pledge to fight for Social Security >> spr.ly/6016fE30w
By 2030, 5.3M New Yorkers will be 60+. How do we build communities that support them? Join @BethNY at the #NYAgingSummit for “Preparing and Planning for Aging in NY”—a panel on healthcare, housing, mobility, & healthy aging. @CityAndStateNY Register here: events.cityandstate.com/new-york-aging…

Speaker #CarlHeastie and @RepRitchie joined the call to protect #SocialSecurity at this weekend’s Bronx BBQ. New Yorkers have earned their slice – now let’s protect it. 📢 Add your name to the fight for Social Security: spr.ly/601044oSo #WeEarnedIt #ProtectThePie
#SocialSecurity helps people stay afloat—but cuts could put that in jeopardy. #AARPNY is fighting back, and we want to hear from you. 🎤 Share your story in a short video or audio: spr.ly/60154LRYV #WeEarnedIt
💵 50 years ago, #SocialSecurity added automatic COLAs to help older adults keep up with inflation. Today, it keeps 836,000+ older New Yorkers out of poverty. Without it: 36% in poverty. With it: 12%. We must protect this program because #WeEarnedIt qr.aarp.org/sspledgeny?cmp…
Today I spoke out - again- against any @ConEdison rate increases, joined by Westchester residents and elected officials! Glad that the judges heard first hand about excessive current charges- and how any increase is totally unacceptable. (1/2)
Proud to stand with @AARPNY in rejecting ConEd’s unacceptable rate hike. The proposed rate increase is terrible for all New Yorkers, particularly older adults on fixed incomes. Enough is enough, indeed.
📢 3.2M older NYers live in ConEd’s territory—many on fixed incomes. They can’t afford another 14% rate hike. @ShelleyBMayer, @BurdickAD93, @westchestergov @LegislatorGashi @wpmayorroach & @BethNY say: Enough is enough. #RejectConEdRateHike
Freedom means more when we stand together. This #FourthOfJuly, we honor the power of community, unity, and shared purpose—values that move us all forward. #IndependenceDay
#DidYouKnow the 1st Social Security number ever issued went to a New Yorker? 🗽 John D. Sweeney Jr. of New Rochelle got SSN 055-09-0001 at age 23. Today, 3.7M+ New Yorkers rely on #SocialSecurity. 🧾 Speak up to protect it #WeEarnedIt 👉 qr.aarp.org/sspledgeny?cmp…
🚨$800M rate hike proposed by NYSEG & RGE. 180K+ NYers are months behind on their energy bills #AARPNY says: Unacceptable. This further worsens the affordability crisis for older adults. 📢We urge @NYSDPS to REJECT this hike! states.aarp.org/new-york/aarp-… #ProtectNYers #RejectTheHike
👏Major milestone: @GovKathyHochul released NY's first-ever Master Plan for Aging. @BethNY "the real challenge lies ahead.. to turn this visionary plan into reality." From affordable housing to caregiving, tech access to health equity: NYers deserve to age w dignity & support.
#AARPNY joined aging pros at #ACUU in Albany to spotlight the evolution of services & honor #SocialSecurity’s legacy 🎉 We even sang “Happy Birthday”! 🎂 Big thanks to Greg Olsen & Becky Preve for uplifting older New Yorkers. #WeEarnedIt
