Take action yourself to help reframe how we talk about the strengths that endure throughout our lives.
- Join EndAgeismSF Facebook group, and post your own stories with the #EndAgeismSF tag.
- Visit SF Senior Beat for profiles on some of the older San Franciscans featured in the campaign advertising, including Mario Martinez and Xue Ya Yu.
- Visit EndAgeism.com and take the pledge. Sign up for emails with tips on how to share the Reframing Aging message.

Struggle to Save Older Adult Classes Goes On
SFCC Chancellor Mark Rocha acted to cut virtually all classes in the Older Adult Program (OLAD), which provide seniors vital help in overcoming isolation and maintaining interests and acuity. City College administrators say the cuts are part of a planned restructuring of City College.
SF Supervisor
Walton has proposed $2.7 million in emergency City fun
ding to restore 345 City College classes and is looking for veto-proof support, with a hearing expected in January. Contact your Supervisor to support. Mayor Breed and Dept of Disability and Aging Services are working together to help by saving some of the classes in senior centers by using one time only Dignity Fund dollars. But for City College to target older adults for cuts across its system means the struggle for fairness goes on.
