The National Council on Aging, WITNESS and the Elder Justice Coalition launched the Elder Justice Now campaign early in 2009 to urge Congress to pass the Elder Justice Act.
Elder Justice Now uses the power of video stories and the Internet to put a human face on elder abuse and allow elders and others a way to advocate for urgent passage of the legislation.
