ADVOCATING FOR SENIORS
The California Senior Legislature
The California Senior Legislature has been working to improve the lives of California’s seniors since 1981. This nonpartisan organization has sponsored over 200 new laws helping seniors with financial abuse, health care, transportation, housing, and more. CSL members advocate diligently during each legislative session to have state lawmakers carry and support the CSL’s top State Legislative proposals. It then tracks the progress of its legislative proposals through a series of monthly reports.
CSL utilizes donations to support its advocacy efforts. Voluntary tax contributions via the Form 540 California Resident Income Tax Return as well as contributions made directly to CSL are the primary sources of donations to the CSL. Without these contributions, our state’s vulnerable elderly population could lose their strongest advocate.
EVENTS
ANNUAL SESSION
The Annual Legislative Session is held in the Capitol each year to perfect legislative proposals and identify legislative priorities for the subsequent California Legislative Session.
MASTER PLAN FOR AGING
California tops the nation for the number of people 60 or older, a figure expected to double by 2030. Governor Newsom has called for the creation of a Master Plan For Aging that must address person-centered care, the patchwork of public services, social isolation, bedridden seniors in need of transportation, the nursing shortage and demand for in-home supportive services that far outpaces capacity.
SENIOR RALLY DAY
The Senior Rally Day event is held in May of each year and coincides with Older Americans Month. It is designed to demonstrate that seniors count by raising awareness among legislators and the Governor of senior issues.
Our 2024 Senior Rally Day is scheduled for May 8, 2024. Register Today!
