On March 26, 2009, Elder Financial Protection Network (EFPN) hosted the 5th Annual Call to Action. The day-long conference, luncheon and awards ceremony brought together professionals to express a deep, collective determination to end the growing crime of elder financial abuse. Over 200 participants signed the Call to Action 2009 Proclamation.

EFPN is issuing another Call to Action. We are working to rally supporters, old and new, to send a message to Washington, DC, that the Elder Justice Act must be enacted NOW! EFPN has named the project Call to Action: Elder Justice Act (EJA), a national campaign using various online campaign tools to collect signatures from supporters all over the country to add to this Proclamation.

The Elder Justice Act:

Would provide federal resources to support State and community efforts on the front lines dedicated to fighting elder abuse with scarce resources and fragmented systems.
Assuring adequate public-private infrastructure and resources to prevent, detect, treat, understand, intervene in and, where appropriate, prosecute elder abuse, neglect,and exploitation.
