New fascinating study: older adults who voted had a 45% lower risk of dying within five years than nonvoters, even after adjusting for health and income. A link, not proof of cause. Still, one more good argument for people to vote! 🗳️ sp2.upenn.edu/voting-is-linked-to-living-longer/ #Vote #ThirdActRI

@saveohioparks.bsky.social presented information about fracking Ohio public lands and signed up new volunteers at Tremont Arts and Culture Festival Sept. 19 in Cleveland. Despite afternoon rain, the fair drew an enthusiastic crowd. @neosierraclub.bsky.social @ccbecker271.bsky.social

$Young people express displeasure and dismay upon learning the state of Ohio permits fracking of our state parks and public lands for natural gas. Gas fracked from Ohio public lands will be used to run data centers unless the people of Ohio demand renewable energy or ban them.

Older Americans vote at higher rates than any other age group and have the most institutional knowledge of how change gets made. That's exactly why Third Act built a national network of elders taking on climate and democracy, including here in RI. More soon.
