My Goals for Elders
(in no particular order)
SHORT-TERM AND INTERMEDIATE GOALS
• Work with lots of people on closeness, connection, and trust.
• Set up ongoing support groups.
• Work on elders’ oppression and elders’ internalized oppression.
• Figure out and share effective ways of interrupting elders’ oppression and internalized oppression.
• Update the Elders’ Draft Liberation Policy Statement.
• Build friendships and alliances with people under fifty.
• Work on feelings about death and dying.
• Be at the center of the RC Community.
• Plan an elders’ conference.
• Because personal health issues distract us, discharge on our health to help us reach other goals.
LONGER-RANGE GOALS
• Begin healthy aging early in life.
• Live a long, healthy, productive life (everyone).
• End elders’ oppression.
FOR ALL TIME
• End all oppression.
• Stop climate change and bring about* the flourishing of all of life.
