Goal

Direct Supply’s Senior Living Advocacy and their Tell Our Stories™ initiative brings attention to the most critical issues affecting America’s seniors and their caregivers. They engaged NJI to amplify the voices of millions of residents, workers, and caregivers among federal policymakers as they considered critical decisions directly impacting these communities.

Three smartphones display different screens against an orange backdrop. The first phone shows a Politico article list, the second displays the Cut Out page with an article on wealth disparity, and the third features the Cut Out podcast cover art with a monochrome portrait—each a testament to modern policy communication.

A website displayed over a background of a hospital hallway prompts users to join a rapid-response campaign urging local legislators to provide relief to senior care providers. It includes sections labeled "About," "Advocacy," and forms for name, email, and zip code.

Strategy

As regulatory and funding debates escalated on Capitol Hill, NJI quickly deployed a digital campaign to support ongoing negotiations about the Provider Relief Fund and amplify industry-wide advocacy efforts. Personal stories highlighted the humanity of seniors and healthcare workers and established meaningful connections with key policymakers. Advertisements urged DC insiders, influencers, and government agencies to join the campaign and amplify the position of industry organizations.
