Justice in Aging: New Name plus Long-Standing Commitment

National Senior Citizens Law Center, an important advocate for low income seniors in the U.S. since its inception in 1972, has announced a new identity, “Justice in Aging.” But, don’t worry, this change represents a deepening of their long-standing commitment (including a cherished role in training and education of senior advocates, including free webinars). As explained in news releases:

“The new name and accompanying ‘look’ will more accurately reflect the nature of our work, build on our legacy of impact, and open the door to engage more supporters and partners across the country.  And it is a LOT easier to say and remember!

 

Our new name will be Justice in Aging.  Our new tagline will be Fighting Senior Poverty Through Law…. Our new website will be www.justiceinaging.org.  We will begin using the new name on March 2, 2015…. While our name is changing, our work will remain the same.  As income inequality increases across the nation and the population ages, senior poverty is growing to unprecedented levels…. We still serve serve as a resource for advocates on important programs like Medicare, Medicaid, LTSS, Social Security and SSI.” 

We wish the hardworking staff of NSCLC — or now JiA, perhaps? — all the best as they roll out their new identity, and in their continuing commitment to advocating for seniors across the nation.
