• A Landmark Step Forward for America’s Seniors: The Elder Justice Act Over the course of the last decade, the Elder Justice Coalition has been fighting to secure passage of the Elder Justice Act. To support the passage of this landmark legislation and empower Americans to speak up about the growing crisis of elder abuse, the National Council on Aging (NCOA), WITNESS and 17 elder rights advocates from across the nation went into the homes of courageous American seniors to document their poignant stories about abuse, neglect and exploitation.
