Advocacy

Remaining actively engaged and ensuring our voices are heard is vital as we age. By creating spaces and opportunities for growth, we empower older LGBTQ+ adults to be authentic and age with dignity. It is essential that we know our voices are acknowledged and included in the planning process. We will not be invisible!

A white LGBTQ+, queer man dressed in a suit jacket is educating a large audience on effective advocacy for older LGBTQ+ queer individuals. He is dedicated to supporting the older LGBTQ+ queer community.

A lively group of individuals is celebrating and advocating for visibility, using a bullhorn to amplify their message. Among them is a gay Black man proudly holding a pride flag, a non-binary person, a male and female of Latinx descent, and a woman with curly hair who is speaking into the bullhorn, passionately chanting, “We will not be invisible.”

The letters LGBTQ+ are displayed in vibrant pride colors, enhanced with a three-dimensional effect and shadow, set against a warm brown background.

Carolina Aging Alliance has representation on various boards, including Resources for Seniors, the North Carolina Coalition on Aging, and the Governor’s Commission on Aging, among others. Its members actively engage with senior services organizations, ensuring that LGBTQ+ voices are considered during discussions and implementation of services for older adults.
