Not just a youth movement: taking up protest in retirement
When we think of protesters, we tend to think of the young. But older people have always participated in protest, even if those contributions are less obvious.
Taking up a cause in older age can add meaning and community to people’s lives, and be a powerful example to younger activists.

We were excited to see someone from your group was visiting our site. A group dedicated to end fossil fuels.
Could we do a zoom sometime to visit and compare notes about advocating for our environment?
