Dan Prince spent decades organizing as an ironworker in San Francisco, eventually leading Iron Workers Local 377 as president for sixteen years. When he retired in 2015, colleagues he'd met at Sacramento legislative conferences told him one thing: join CARA.

He did — and he went on to represent his district council on CARA's board, working closely with founding executive director Jodi Reid. "Almost everybody, without exception, could feel her passion for the movement, for the people CARA represented," Dan says. "That is a very unique quality. It's a gift."

Watch Dan's full story, then join us on Wednesday, August 5, as we honor Jodi's legacy and help power CARA's next chapter. ✊

For decades, Jodi Reid has shown up for older adults, retirees, and working families across California.

As CARA's founding executive director, she's organized thousands of members to fight for the earned benefits we've all worked our whole lives for — Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.

Cindy Young knows that impact firsthand. In a new video, she shares what Jodi's leadership has meant to her and to communities across the state.

Now it's our turn to say thank you.

Join CARA members on Wednesday, August 5, as we honor Jodi's remarkable legacy and help power the next chapter of CARA's work.
