??? “Nothing About Us Without Us” Older persons deserve a seat at every decision-making table. Their lived experiences are invaluable for shaping better policies, care, and communities. ?? Let’s include older persons in: ?? Policy creation ?? Research ?? Program development ?? Change starts when everyone’s voice is heard. Amplify their stories. Support their leadership. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #AgeInclusion #VoicesMatter https://lnkd.in/e6EuVDUX

Encourage learning opportunities for participants in all age groups, support programs that cater to the needs of older adults, and challenge age-based assumptions about intellectual capacity and ability. #StopAgeism @ILCglobal

?? The Economic Impact of Ageism Only 44% of Canadians realize that ageism carries a serious economic toll.? Ageism doesn’t just harm people—it impacts our economy too.

Older persons deserve full participation in society. A UN convention can work toward eliminating barriers to social, political, and economic inclusion. ??? #InclusiveAging @ILCglobal

?? Battling Self-Ageism 31% of Canadians admit to self-ageism—negative feelings about their own aging. It’s time to rewrite the story. Aging isn’t something to fear; it’s a celebration of wisdom, resilience, and experiences. ?? #EndAgeism #SelfAcceptance #PositiveAging https://lnkd.in/eSRiitM6
