Welcome to the revolution against ageism! At CPAAA, we believe that age is just a number – a mere statistic that should never define who you are. Our mission is to challenge stereotypes, break down barriers, and celebrate the wisdom, vitality, and experiences that come with every passing year.
Join us in embracing the diversity of ages that make our community truly extraordinary, and help us rewrite the script on ageism.
Life is a tapestry woven with experiences, passions, and dreams. We are here to break the chains that numerical labels impose, encouraging everyone to live life on their terms, unrestricted by societal expectations.
We are more than our number - and we invite you to join us in our effort to end ageism in our community!
How You Can Help
Self-Reflection
Consider the thoughts you harbor about your own age. Are they colored by negativity? Challenge those stereotypes within yourself.
Language Matters
Pay attention to how you talk about people, both younger and older than you. Language can either bridge gaps or reinforce divisions. Refuse to categorize individuals solely based on age. Are all people of a certain age truly alike? Call out ageism when you hear phrases like:
“I’m too old for that.”
“You look good for your age.”
“Only people of a certain age do that.”
“Look at that driver. Must be an old guy.”
Be a Beacon of Positivity
Promote positive examples of aging on social media and in your conversations. Send birthday cards that celebrate life without ageist stereotypes. Support causes that champion equity for all. Engage in conversations and activities across generations. Initiate intergenerational dialogues to foster understanding. Respect yourself and others irrespective of age. Spread the word about this campaign and empower others to join the movement.
Continuous Learning
Embrace the journey of self-improvement, regardless of your age. We're all evolving, constantly learning, and always offering something valuable to the world. Let's dismantle ageism together, one positive action at a time.
