The Alliance for Retired Americans (ARA) is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization and nonpartisan organization of retired trade union members affiliated with the AFL-CIO, which founded it in 2001. The group's membership also includes non-union, community-based activists. Its predecessor organization was known as the National Council of Senior Citizens (NCSC).
The Alliance's retiree members are in every state and are from all walks of life. They are former teachers, industrial workers, health care workers, state and federal government workers, construction workers and community leaders, all united in the belief that every American deserves social and economic justice, full civil rights, personal and family fulfillment, and a secure and dignified retirement after a lifetime of hard work.
As of 2020, the Alliance has 4.4 million members nationwide[2] and has state programs in 39 states. It has 1,500 local chapters.
