Denim Day falls on Wednesday, April 29 this year, and Wise & Healthy Aging invites you to Go Gray on Denim Day, to protest destructive attitudes about sexual assault.

Survivors of sexual assault are all ages and often invisible. This type of violence is chronically underreported and under-identified. It is important that WISE—an aging services organization advocating for older adults for more than 50 years—takes a stand to raise awareness about older survivors. This year, we honor the strength and courage of survivors like Dolores Huerta, recognizing the weight they often carry throughout their lives.

We hope that you’ll join us next Wednesday in wearing your jeans (gray, if you have them!) and gray shirts, as a visible means of protest.

To report elder abuse in Los Angeles County, call 1-877-477-3646 or the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673.

Last month, WISE Minds went on a wonderful outing to see our friends at the Calvary Christian School. During our visit, we presented two home-made posters to the Third Grade, one for each class, with messages written to each child from a WISE Mind. The only part we didn't love was having to say goodbye, but the students made even that special, lining up to say "bye-bye" one-by-one!
