As we celebrate 50 years of impact, and look forward to continuing our advocacy on behalf of low-income older adults—including through our strategic initiative to advance equity—we are excited to honor our 50th Anniversary through our 50 Videos for 50 Years Project.
By the end of the year, the project will feature 50 key leaders in aging from across the country speaking to our shared values including justice, equity, caregiving, ending elder homelessness, expanding in-home care, promoting innovation, and more. We’ll release one new video each week throughout 2022.
The individuals you’ll see in the videos below represent a diverse array of voices, including advocacy partners, legal services providers, clients, policymakers, and more. Be sure to check back often as this page will be updated weekly with new videos.
Share your favorites on social media and tag @justiceinaging using the hashtag #50For50Justice.
Justice in Aging thanks AARP for its support to make this video project and other 50th anniversary activities possible.

The opportunity to live with dignity, regardless of financial circumstances—free from the worry, harm, and injustice caused by lack of health care, food, or a safe place to sleep. By using the power of law to strengthen the social safety net, and remove the barriers low-income seniors face in trying to access the services they need, we work to ensure the future we all envision for our loved ones and ourselves.
