Combatting Ageism, Achieving Social Justice - The Gray Panthers envisions a world where the old and the young have much to contribute to make our society more just and humane, and in which each reinforces the other in goals, strategy, and action.
May is #OlderAmericansMonth—and this year, we’re proud to Flip the Script on Aging.

Let’s challenge outdated stereotypes, celebrate the contributions of older adults, and recognize aging as a time of purpose, connection, and continued growth.
