AARP helps people turn their goals and dreams into real possibilities, strengthens communities and fights for the issues that matter most to families — such as employment security, health care and retirement planning. AARP fights for age 50 and over individuals and their families at the local, state and national levels. We work on important issues, such as:
- Leading efforts to strengthen Social Security and promote other retirement savings efforts to help everyone achieve lifetime financial security
- Promoting adequate, affordable health care, including prescription drugs and long-term care
- Fostering communities with affordable and appropriate housing, as well as supportive community features and options for getting around
