NATIONAL COUNCIL OF ELDERS

The National Council of Elders are among the founders and active members of several organizations working toward justice... "We, of the National Council of Elders, dream of new worlds. We have helped bring to life the movements that have enriched our humanity over the past 70 years. Yet we know that we have a long way to go to create relations based on peace, love, and mutual responsibility. In 2012 we gathered in Greensboro, North Carolina and wrote a "living Declaration" pledging to "be faithful to our own history" and to undertake with younger generations to do "everything in our power" to bring a greater measure of justice, equality, and peace to our country and to our world."
