Yes, acting is definitely empowering, but only when you get to DO it. GETTING THE JOB is the REAL POWER https://t.co/S1E9IDwgmo

What if older adults can choose to receive home-based care rather than going into an institution? They can age in place with dignity & family caregivers can also get the in-home support they need. Congress has the opportunity to include #HCBS and #BuildBackBetter. #CareCantWait

"Demographics is only one side of the #ageism coin; the cultural side is equally, if not more important." This fascinating study "lays the groundwork to tackle societal ageism—one of our generation’s most pernicious threats." @DrReubenNg @geronsociety

What can you learn from 3,000 years of collective life experience? Quite a bit, as you'll find w/ @skybergman's "Lives Well Lived" documentary, based on her interviews with 40 extraordinary people age 75 to 103, airing on @PBS stations through September. https://t.co/2TOE8bc6r0

"Enhancing the lives of older adults through arts education requires nothing less than a cultural shift around how community organizations serve older adults." 🙌As ever @lifetimearts paves the way in creative aging + dismantling #ageism. @AAMers

We love how @mariannaalda has framed this conversation around health and vibrance rather than youthfulness - a wonderful conversation we are excited to join!
