Seniors and people with disabilities both advocate for home care, housing, and transportation but, for decades, only lonely voices urged the two groups to collaborate. . . until now!

Our guests this Friday, Christina Mills and Cynde Soto, talk about the factors that contributed to the historical division between senior and disability advocates as well as current efforts to build solidarity between both groups.

Christina is the director of the California Association of Area Agencies on Aging (C4A). Her organization works to educate government leaders on aging and disability-related policy and to advocate for a stronger social safety net. Cynde is a board member of the Long Beach chapter of the Gray Panthers. Since 1974, the chapter has advocated for social and economic justice for those with disabilities and older adults.

Also, we will feature information about a free online drum circle for those with disabilities and allies. It will be on Friday, December 5th, at 1 PST on Zoom. To sign up, email [email protected]
