WASHINGTON—AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy & Engagement Officer Nancy LeaMond, in a letter, urged Congress to take aggressive next steps to address the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and work to help older Americans, who are most at risk from coronavirus.
LeaMond thanked Congress for its earlier bipartisan actions against coronavirus and wrote, “Americans of all ages are looking to Congress for bold and visionary leadership. We look forward to working with you in the weeks to come to address these targeted and necessary solutions.”
AARP, through her letter, called for a range of provisions to protect older Americans and their families:
Provide Financial Relief from Economic Shocks
Protect Residents in Nursing Homes and Other Residential Facilities
Ensure Seniors Don’t Go Hungry
