Hundreds of seniors and their advocates, joined Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, for a rally protesting the $102 million proposed budget cut to the New York City Department for the Aging. The reduced funding would impact services to older adults and could lead to the closure of up to 90 senior centers across the city. The rally, held at Queens Borough Hall, was organized by LiveOn NY.
