Baby Boomers are facing retirement woes as they worry about having enough money to live comfortably. Many will need to work longer or start their own businesses.

2. In 2011…
When a bank threatened to take the home of one of our members, we took the
giant step of working with others in coalition and even got arrested to help
her fight back to make sure she kept her home.
When the call of “We are the 99%” was sounded, we took giant steps together, marching to City
Halls, closing streets and joining Occupy movements throughout the state. We took on corporate
America and we won. And we’ll continue to do so until there is justice for all.
When our communities were clearly in need, we took the giant step
of providing them with a Fresh Start for the school year.
When the Super Committee in Congress threatened to cut Medicare,
we took a giant step with actions that said “Not on our watch!”
And we will continue to step up for quality jobs and step up for how long term care
is carried out in this state to better serve consumers, patients, and workers and
we will step up with those who join us in getting to that place we call Justice
