Lack of economic opportunity and discrimination against women, people of color, LGBTQ people, and others lead to a lifetime of low-wage work that doesn’t leave enough at the end of every month for retirement savings.
Structural issues in our economy including disappearing pensions and rising health care and housing costs, coupled with decades of disinvestment and cuts in vital programs put more people at risk of poverty as they age.
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.
