Advocacy
Championing our Rights Through Advocacy
Advocacy is the act of supporting, defending, or pleading on behalf of others or oneself in public forums. This essential societal function allows individuals and groups to express their needs and opinions, influence public policy, and ensure that minority or overlooked groups have a voice. In this part of the site, our experts talk about the advocacy of our generation and how we fight for the underprivileged, the need for healthcare, the need for financial Security and having a fair and inclusive society.
In a world teeming with diverse beliefs and interests, advocacy plays a pivotal role in balancing societal scales by promoting fairness and equality. It empowers individuals and communities to contribute to societal development and the democratic process. As our generation is Aging, it becomes increasingly crucial to ensure that Baby Boomers’ rights and needs are met, and our voices heard. This advocacy does not only benefit the Boomers, but also sets the precedent for the treatment of future aging populations. It’s about creating a society that values and respects every stage of life.

I talked with returning guest, Audrey Nick Hugh, the “Amazonian Warrior,” a veteran and founder of the Amazonian Warrior Foundation.
