One of key issues is lack of #advocacy services. So many have been lost and those that remain are overstretched & under resourced. We need more advocacy services - everyone #awoc should have right to an advocate if needed #diversealz

One of things I’ve found really frightening during #covid19 is just how quickly & completely all the older ppl who don’t fit into family narrative have been erased. Genuinely they may as well not exist. AWOC was created because I & others like me saw/felt our invisibility 1/2
