Abstract
As Congress begins its 116th Session, a longtime advocate reflects upon past and present political climates—what has stayed the same, what has changed, the impact on aging programs, and the future of aging advocacy. Highlighted is the need for education, relationship-building, coalitions with programs across the life span, and involvement, at all levels, of professionals and older adults. As Congress faces new challenges, all must speak loudly and often on behalf of and with older adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
