    LGBT Elders Send Powerful Message to Federal Administration for Community Living

    Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE) has published a new infographic outlining its involvement in the #TellACL comment period.

    In 2016, SAGE delivered more than 2,800 comments to the Federal Administration for Community Living (ACL) regarding a plan that would guide state aging offices in allocating resources for diverse elders as they age – including, for the very first time, LGBT older people. The comments from SAGE’s members and allies were collected as part of a collaborative effort led by the Diverse Elders Coalition.

    This post and the infographic were originally published on the SAGE website. Visit www.sageusa.org for more blog entries, infographics, and resources for LGBT elders and allies!
