I’ve seen a lot of posts about the clear necessity of support for groups who are not just likely to be attacked and harmed by the incoming government - they already are - BIPOC, LGBTQIA and disabled folks for certain.

What I have not seen is any mention of our #elders. So many - most? - of us depend entirely on #SocialSecurity, #Section8, #snap, and #medicare to simply survive. If those programs are cut back or gotten rid of entirely - we’re going to see a dramatic and heartbreaking increase of an already growing problem: #HomelessElders. I will be one of them. I really really don’t want to go back to that.
Check in on your elders. Start to think and talk about what kind of plans you can make to help if this dire future comes to pass.
