One of HARA's strengths is its advocacy for public policy issues at the state and national level to promote and preserve the interests of seniors and retirees.  HARA can rely on the expertise of the staff and other resources of the 3.5 million member Alliance for Retired Americans (ARA) a national advocate for seniors.

For public policy positions adopted by the HARA Convention and the HARA Board of Directors, please click on "Legislative Program" on the left column listing of subjects on this page.

For public policy statements of our national affiliate, the ARA, go to the ARA Home page:  www.retiredamericans.org  and click on "Retiree Resources" for ARA resolutions, fact sheets, reports and briefs, more useful links, and even "Internet Basics" a good primer for seniors learning to use the internet.

For past and current updates on ARA activities and on national senior issues, click on "Friday Alert" on either the ARA or HARA home pages.  Each issue of the Alert covers several current topics.
