LiveOn NY and over 500 older adults and aging service professionals took to City Hall Park to not only fight proposed cuts by Mayor Adams, but to demand further investments into New York City’s Department for the Aging (NYC Aging).

On May 5th, 2022, LiveOn NY returned in person to the Steps of City Hall for our 27th Annual Aging Advocacy Day where we were joined by roughly 200 older adults and professionals in the field of aging. During this we called #EquityforAging and #JustPay in this year’s budget.

On Tuesday, May 19th, LiveOn NY hosted a TeleRally via Zoom, through which we were joined by over 200 people, including elected officials, aging services professionals, advocates, and older adults. In addition to discussing the needs of the aging services network, we also highlighted the incredible work that providers are during to serve older New Yorkers in their communities during COVID-19.
Proud to join @liveonny at today’s rally! It shouldn’t take a pandemic for the City to recognize and address the magnitude of senior hunger, the impact of social isolation, & the need to invest in senior services. But it’s time to turn our anger into action and go #allinforaging pic.twitter.com/BV0V3Weg7U

Year after year seniors take to City Hall to demand their fair share of the city's budget — and this year was no different! Acting as representatives for your senior center or program and the entire network of aging services, seniors make their voices heard during a vibrant rally, as well as during meetings with your respective City Council Members.
