For the last 26 years, LiveOn NY has hosted an Aging Advocacy Day at the beginning of May. Each year, hundreds of older New Yorkers and aging services professionals have taken to the steps of City Hall to demand their fair share of the budget.

From 10 to 11 AM: During this Virtual Press Conference, we will hear from key representatives such as Chair of the Committee on Aging, Council Member Margaret Chin, Chair of the Committee on Health, Council Member Levine. We will also hear from some community-based organizations that are doing the work on the ground, as well as hear about this year’s priorities from LiveOn NY’s team before heading into the next phase of Virtual Advocacy Day: calling your Council Members.

11-12 PM: We urge you to make calls to City Council members. Following the Virtual Press Conference, we want to ensure that each Council Member receives at least one call from a senior or provider in their district. Once the Virtual Press Conference ends, we ask that participants call Speaker Johnson’s office and their Council Member's office. A script will be provided.
