Get Involved
Civic engagement is a key facet of what it means to be a New Yorker.
The resources below are ways that you can join us in making New York a better place to age.
Participate in a LiveOn NY Advocacy Campaign
Be on the front lines of senior advocacy by participating in a LiveOn NY advocacy campaign. We make opportunities available to support the aging services sector on the State and City levels, whether through one of our letter writing campaigns, phone campaigns or a rally.
To get excited about the momentum that comes from raising our voices, read about our 2017 campaign, which resulted in an increase of $22.9 million for the Department for the Aging in the city's budget, and see our recent wins on the State level.

Testify to City Council
NYC City Council holds hearings each month on a variety of issues that effect older New Yorkers. The public is welcome to attend these hearings and listen to the topic being discussed or to weigh in by testifying. The Committee on Aging consistently focuses on the needs of New York's seniors, though the decisions made in other committees may also effect the senior population.
