“Senior Citizens Day” uses outdated language—aging isn’t decline, it’s resilience + contribution. Time to reframe aging (see @frameworks.bsky.social for equity + justice.) 💬 How are you reframing aging in your community? #ReframingAging #GenerationalJustice #ElderJustice #AgingEquity

We're grateful to @insidephilanthropy.com for publishing this important piece. Supporting older adults isn't a trend -- it's a core responsibility. The elders who led movements and shaped communities deserve policies, funding, and visibility that reflect the power of their lives.

60 years ago today, bold advocates created a new health care program called Medicaid, supported by the federal government. Today, Medi-Cal continues that legacy, delivering care and advancing equity for 15 million Californians.

LGBTQ+ older adults are less likely to have children and other traditional family support systems that many seniors rely on. Without family members to provide caregiving, #Medicaid serves as a lifeline by funding everything from home modifications to care aides who help with eating and bathing.
