How Can I Tell My Story Through the Retiree Roadrunner Video Project?
At every stop, the Retiree Roadrunner will be collecting video testimonials for the Alliance for Retired Americans' project, "My Story, My Vote." Through this project, we will capture and record stories from across the country, and use your stories to give a human face to the policy issues we work on. Our stories are a central part of changing this country and standing up for seniors. Our ability to share our stories is what makes us different and is our strongest advocacy tool. To carry out our work, we need to be able to offer compelling and real stories on the values we seek to protect and improve.
With your permission, we hope to use these stories on our website, in the press, and deliver them to appropriate congressional offices. This video library helps us identify retiree activists to serve as powerful and effective spokespersons for our campaign to improve the quality of life for current – and future – retirees. If you are unable to visit the Retiree Roadrunner in person, please write to us and we’ll help you find a good way to get your story in front of the right people.
