AARP Hearing Center
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.”
