Center For Medicare Advocacy And National Senior Citizens Law Center Announce New "Justice Partnership" Affiliation And Upcoming Conference

The Center for Medicare Advocacy and the National Senior Citizens Law Center announce a new affiliation called the "Justice Partnership". The groups are planning a major conference in Washington, DC to focus advocates and policymakers on the challenges facing lower income older people and people with disabilities. The conference will take place this October.

For two decades the Center for Medicare Advocacy and the National Senior Citizens Law Center (NSCLC) have worked together. The two organizations have shared histories, interrelated missions, and have successfully collaborated in significant litigation, projects, and grants to advance the rights of older people and people with disabilities.

The Justice Partnership grows out of a mutual concern that the safety net for older Americans, created over the last several decades, is unraveling.
