About Me
With its great resources and strength, AARP helps our 3.4 million California members make their own choices, reach their goals and dreams, and make the most of life after 50.
AARP's vision is to excel as a dynamic presence in every community, shaping and enriching the experience of aging for each member and for society.
AARP California's 2008 legislative and policy successes included: improving the reporting of infections in California hospitals; preventing harmful cuts in the state budget; and defeating of Proposition 98, an initiative that would have eliminated rent control. AARP California also led the successful statewide pro-Proposition 11 fight, working both to get the initiative on the ballot and to build support for its passage in the general election. This new law will establish the kind of open and transparent process of drawing congressional district lines AARP believes is necessary to ensure Californians can elect politicians who are willing to work together to find common sense solutions to our most pressing problems.
More than 495,489 AARP activists and 1,100 volunteers in California work to engage federal and state elected officials on issues of importance to Californians age 50+. Our volunteers also serve members and communities through events, forums and presentations across the state. Education on key issues draws Californians from diverse backgrounds and is conducted in various languages, and consumer awareness efforts provide tools and information of vital importance to the community at large.
