The Senior Agenda Coalition is an independent and diverse coalition of agency and individual members. Our mission is to mobilize people and implement an agenda that improves the quality of life of older Rhode Islanders. We accomplish this through community organizing, public education and legislative action.
Dear Friends,
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we have not been idle at the Senior Agenda Coalition. We have published four e-newsletters, a phone campaign to protect vital senior services, and our strategic plan. We will continue to keep you informed, and look forward to brighter times with you in 2021!
Rhode Island's older adults have suffered disproportionately during these long months of the pandemic, and the Senior Agenda Coalition has spoken out forcefully about both the redistribution of Medicaid dollars and the retention of funding for community services that are so vital to their well being.
