Generations Now: ASA RISE Article Series
The American Society on Aging's (ASA) Generations Now platform has released an ASA RISE article series featuring equity-related aging topics written by ASA RISE Fellows and others.
In a new article, "Transforming Advocacy into Action," Christina Peoples, MS, a gerontologist who started the platform Gero-What?! as an educational resource, talks about lessons learned while creating the Expanding Age Advocacy guide and how this alum applied perspectives gained from the ASA RISE program to the guide.
The John A. Hartford Foundation is collaborating with ASA to advance equity in aging by supporting ASA RISE, a 20-week social justice and leadership program for rising leaders of color in aging, and through the development of dissemination of equity-related, partnership-based thought leadership through ASA's Generations platform.
