Statement to Provide Clarity on Litigation Unrelated to AARP, Confusingly Called “A.A.R.P. v. Trump”

WASHINGTON– AARP Vice President of External Relations Sarah Lovenheim released the following statement in regards to federal litigation, confusingly called “A.A.R.P. v. Trump”:

“AARP has no involvement in litigation at the Supreme Court using “A.A.R.P.” as a pseudonym, and takes no position on the matters at issue. AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to advocating for Americans aged 50 and older. However, the use of “A.A.R.P.” as a pseudonym has caused significant confusion among the media and the public, mistakenly suggesting our affiliation with the case.

“To prevent misunderstanding, AARP filed a motion to intervene in District Court for the limited purpose of changing the “A.A.R.P.” pseudonym. The District Court granted this request. On April 21, the name of the case – at AARP’s request – changed to W.M.M., et al. v. Donald J. Trump.

“We remain committed to clarity and transparency in all legal and advocacy matters that bear our name.”
