Activism and Advocacy Against Ageism. We envision a world where the old and the young have much to contribute to make our society more just and humane.

Caregivers are partners in care — not visitors.

The pandemic showed us what happens when care is reduced to a policy instead of a human need. Families were separated. Voices were silenced. People died alone.

We owe it to them—and to the future—to do better.

Join us to take action for the Federal Essential Caregiver Bill.

💛During Vision Into Action, we heard updates from our Rising Leaders—building intergenerational community through shared adventures, art that dismantles ageism, disability justice work, and real change inside long-term care. Because the work continues—and so does the community.

Caregiving shouldn’t start in a crisis. Most families don’t plan—until they’re forced to. And by then, stress, burnout, and conflict are already in play. Ron Roel breaks caregiving down into something human, practical, and doable:
• How to plan across health, finances, and family dynamics
• How to start (and revisit) hard family conversations
• How to think ahead about home care, assisted living, and long-term care
• How caregivers can protect their own well-being—not just everyone else’s

If you’re part of the “club sandwich” generation—or love someone who is—this is a must-read.

🧡 Planning now is an act of care.

Jack Kupferman reflects on this moment—drawing inspiration from our founder Maggie Kuhn.

At a time marked by fear, injustice, and exhaustion, this piece is both a reckoning and a call—to resist despair, to support one another, and to act across generations. Protest. Care. Strategy. Solidarity.

This is the legacy of Age & Youth in Action—and it’s needed now more than ever.

An eyewitness account from Minneapolis reminds us that fear is shaping daily life for immigrant communities — businesses closing, families delaying their return, neighbors organizing to protect one another.

When injustice is tolerated anywhere, it weakens justice everywhere. This is why we show up.

In a culture obsessed with “anti-aging,” this essay flips the script. Blogger in Chief, Brendan Birth, reminds us that aging brings clarity, connection, and compassion—for ourselves and others. Getting older doesn’t have to be negative. It can be powerful. https://www.graypanthersnyc.org/post/why-i-love-getting-older

Our latest blog post from Carrie Leljedal. As New York awaits action from Governor Kathy Hochul on the Medical Aid in Dying Act, this piece invites us to look beyond fear and misinformation and focus on what truly matters: honoring a dying person’s choice.

This is about compassion, autonomy, and dignity at the end of life. Read and reflect.
