Ageism Is Systemic
We Explore and Take Action
Lack of access to broadband and technology
Health care access is a major concern
Social Security is not enough- there is economic insecurity for too many elders, and there is a real lack of access to social supports
Lack of trust in the system; lack of navigators to help gain access to services
Housing Injustice must be addressed
Elders have a great amount of wisdom and are very capable of doing things but often lack opportunities
There is active discrimination in the work force with seniors being pushed out and under-valued
Elders feel vulnerable and there was an increase in fear during the worst of Covid-19
Metro mobility and lack of access to affordable transportation is a serious problem
