277 Members of Congress have either signed the Divided We Fail congressional pledge or written a letter of approval supporting the Divided We Fail platform
Our country is reaching a tipping point. Health care costs are skyrocketing, savings rates are plummeting, and people are wondering if they’ll ever be able to retire. On average, just one in three Americans believes that the next generation will have a better quality of life than we have today.
We can’t let this happen. To build momentum for change, AARP has joined forces with the Business Round Table (BRT), the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) to launch “Divided We Fail,” an unprecedented nationwide public outreach campaign.
If we can find a way to work together so should the politicians. Together we are raising the voices of millions of Americans who believe that health and lifetime financial security are the most pressing domestic issues facing our nation. We are asking elected leaders to sign the “Divided We Fail” pledge, committing to work in a bipartisan way to provide Americans with actions and answers on health and long-term financial security.
Here in Washington, we are mobilizing AARP’s nearly 1 million members and asking our state’s elected leaders to support the campaign. So far, our Governor and the following Members of Congress have signed the pledge or written a letter of approval supporting the Divided We Fail platform.
