Maggie Kuhn wasn't interested in books that helped you look away. 📚 Happy World Book Day! Our founder had some thoughts on what we should be reading — and it wasn't the self-help shelf.

Maggie believed the world's problems weren't something to escape. They were an invitation. That's the spirit that built the Gray Panthers — and it's the spirit we carry into every fight for age justice today.

🌍🌱The same forces that threaten our planet threaten our people. Happy Earth Day from Gray Panthers NYC!

Climate justice and age justice are not separate fights. Older adults and low-income communities bear the heaviest burden of extreme heat, air pollution, and failing infrastructure — and they have the least power to escape it.

Gray Panthers has always known: you can't separate the health of the planet from the health of the people who live on it. Today we recommit to fighting for both.

🐾When Maggie Kuhn was forced to retire at 65, they handed her a sewing machine. She founded the Gray Panthers instead.

This Thursday — April 23, 10:30 AM — Gray Panthers NYC President Michelle Arnot and Vice President Carrie Leljedal take the stage at ASA's On Aging 2026 in Atlanta.

Their session, "Reviving, Rebranding and Rebuilding: Gray Panthers for the 21st Century," is the real story of how a nearly dormant organization came roaring back — through a pandemic documentary, a global Zoom community, pro bono partnerships, and Maggie's enduring vision.

📍 Roswell Room | 10:30–11:30 AM | CE Eligible (+ NASW)

Attending the conference? We hope to see you there!

Millions of Americans will be affected by the anticipated Medicaid cuts, including up to 4.3 million people who rely on Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS).

One group that has too often been overlooked? The children who are already quietly giving up their childhoods to care for their chronically ill or disabled family members.

Over 5.4 million kids in the U.S. are caregivers, juggling care responsibilities and schoolwork. And the Medicaid cuts could force millions more into that role.
