Taking Our Voices to Washington


 In: Articles

How can we ensure that leaders in Washington, D.C. hear the voices of LGBTQ+ older people? While SAGE considers this question every day in its national advocacy work, today’s White House Conference on Aging is a particularly important moment to make sure we’re heard and represented. This important conference convenes national leaders to discuss the state of American aging every ten years–and SAGE is bringing LGBTQ+ voices to the table. Want to join us? Check out a live stream of the conference, available online here.

In advance of today’s conference, SAGE conducted a survey of LGBTQ+ older people to learn more about the most important questions and concerns facing our communities today. Watch this video to hear some of what they had to say.
