Our vision is to bridge the gap between youth and seniors as it pertains to the violence in our community. To ensure that everyone that is 18 years and older register to vote.
In late August of 1970, a
concerned senior citizen by
the name of Maggie Kuhn
convened a meeting in
Philadelphia with a group of
five friends to talk about
issues relative to older
people. From that group came
the foundation of today's Gray
Panthers Organization
Nationally. It was made up of
local community organizers
and demonstrates social
changes, particularly against
stereotypes of the elderly
promoting their right to exist,
be gainfully employed, and
improved quality of life issues
in general and active just as
any other citizen.
Maggies says: "aging is the flowering of life, a triumph of the spirit, not a disease." equitable and sustainable future for all.
