Highlights from LiveOn NY's 28th Annual Aging Advocacy Day

On Thursday, May 11th, LiveOn NY hosted our 28th Annual Aging Advocacy Day. During the event, roughly four hundred older adults and aging service professionals took to City Hall Park to demand their fair share of the City budget.

Testimony on New York City Preliminary Budget on Aging

Rather than cuts, it’s time to invest in older New Yorkers and for the City to pay the human services workforce a just and equitable wage. It’s time for the City to enact a more equitable budget that holistically supports these professionals that work tirelessly to ensure that no older New Yorker falls through the cracks.
