As a part of Justice in Aging’s Strategic Initiative to Advance Equity for older adults, we are committed to offering resources that support advocates in that work. Below you will find recorded trainings, tools, and other resources from Justice in Aging and our partners that you can use to center your work in equity for older adults. These resources provide a range of information from high-level analysis of systemic racism and inequities in the context of older adults of color and the landscape of laws and government programs, to practical tools for attorneys, aging services advocates, and staff of all levels in your organization. If you are looking for a specific resource not listed here or have questions about the tools below, reach out to us for technical assistance at stakshi@justiceinaging.org.
