Unless we stop thinking in age categories, unless we abolish age limits, unless we stop inventing excuses for the exclusion of older people from learning, working and accessing care we are breaching #humanrights

📣We're one of 50 NGOs calling on @EU_Commission to prioritise #Equality. The EU must step up - not scale down - for a ‘Union of Equality’ and reinstate a standalone Commissioner on Equality! 📖 Read our open letter and spread the message:

At a time when the EU must step up action to promote #equality, it is instead downgrading its work, failing to appoint a dedicated Commissioner. This must change!
‼️Why is there no Commissioner on #Equality? AGE is deeply worried by the lack of dedicated portfolio on equality, which runs against EU’s commitments and founding values. We call on MEPs to act fast to rectify this issue. 👉Read our full statement https://t.co/lSXn0HOxNK

I don't want to be silenced when I am older. I want to #AgewithRights. Time to end #ageism. Congrats @amnesty for this much needed campaign. #AgeLoud #AgeingEqual
No matter our age, our rights are universal. But as we grow older, many of us are ignored and forgotten. It’s time to listen to older people. Let’s support their calls to end age discrimination. Join us: https://t.co/VhBiYFwZwI

We've had enough injustices committed against #OlderPeople with impunity. #Ageism affects us on a daily basis, including during the #pandemic, when many older people were denied essential care & died. 🖋 Sign the petition to #AgeWithRights: https://t.co/wRngDadIli
