Area Agency on Aging of East Texas • April 8, 2021

THE MISSION OF THE TEXAS SENIOR ADVOCACY COALITION IS TO DEVELOP AND ACTIVELY SUPPORT PUBLIC POLICY TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OLDER ADULTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

The Texas Senior Advocacy Coalition (TSAC) created a four-minute video asking the Texas Legislature for support with three issues:
  • Establishing elder financial abuse centers
  • Increasing AmeriCorps-Seniors funding by 10%
  • Medicaid expansion for seniors in Texas
Our Director of the Area Agency on Aging of East Texas, Bettye Mitchell, speaks in the video on the need to expand services. We urge you to share this video with anyone who needs to be educated about our programs and their impact. Please let your Legislature know about your specific project, sites, and volunteer counts in their district. Please help us share the individual stories of senior Texans who need change regarding these issues.

By sharing this short video attached below, you are advocating for seniors, which will hopefully lead to a better life for them in the great state of Texas.

Thank you for your time and help in getting this video seen.
