NYSARA and the Age Strong New York Coalition
NYSARA and its partners had a press conference and legislator meetings on Tuesday February 11. NYSARA and its partners LiveOn NY, Lifespan, AARP, Association on Aging in New York , Statewide Senior Action Council and other aging advocacy organizations rallied for senior fairness.
