Marie-Therese Connolly talks with host Tiffany Marie Brannon about the millions of elderly citizens that are abused on a daily basis all over the nation.

One of the main forces behind the Elder Justice Act, founder and director of the Life Long Justice organization and director of the Department of Justice Elder Justice and Nursing Home Initiative, Connolly shares her insights into a broken geriatric-care system, care-giver abuse and how our society’s obsession with youth has made us blind to the state of the aging.
