We will use this day to celebrate Older Americans Month and lift priority aging network issues for the next budget and legislative session. Our day of action will be complemented by local, in-district meetings held by WAAN core members throughout the state.

Advocates are encouraged to use the two campaigns shared during the training to communicate with their representatives about the priorities needing their attention for the 2027-2029 State Budget:
