Promoting your Older Americans Month activities across social media is a great way to show how residents and clients of your organization are #AgingUnbound.

LeadingAge prepared sample text to make it easy to post to your social media channels. If possible, use real visuals (photos or video) of older adults in your community—even if your visuals aren’t as high-quality as stock photos. Authenticity is key! Consult the LeadingAge Visual and Design Guide, part of the Opening Doors to Aging Services initiative, for more information. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for shareable graphics, also!

White House Office on Aging Policy support

• There are many valuable federal programs that support older adults. A White House Office on Aging Policy would ensure focused, effective coordination among them to best support the rapidly aging U.S. population
• The nation needs a White House Office on Aging Policy to provide clear oversight and strong leadership to ensure all older adults receive essential care and services. Learn more. https://leadingage.org/leadingage-to-white-house-america-needs-an-office-on-aging-policy/
• During #OlderAmericansMonth lift your voice for older adults. Ask President Biden to create a White House Office on Aging Policy to provide clear oversight and strong leadership to ensure all older adults receive essential care and services. #LeadingAge
