By popular request, I'm bringing back my Ending Ageism Together newsletter on LinkedIn. Because, yeah, #ageism is still here.

Who's been naughty and nice this week!

I’m running for the U.S. Senate so the people who built Colorado can take back control of our healthcare, our homes, and our futures.
Working people built Colorado, we deserve a government that finally works for us.

What are we missing and missing out on?

Here's what employers miss out on when they push out or refuse to hire older adults because of outdated stereotypes.

It's time to end #Ageism and reap the benefits of #Intergenerational teams.

Thanks for weighing in! I'm saying that it's ageist, because it is, demonstrating stereotyping about older people and younger people. Happy to share some resources with you if you'd like to learn more about #ageism and how it shows up. And comparing me to MAGA? A really low blow.πŸ™„

How Trump’s β€˜51st State’ Canada Talk Came to Be Seen as Deadly Serious (Gift Article) President Trump, in an early February call, challenged the border treaty between the two countries and told Justin Trudeau he didn’t like their shared water agreements.

Startling story with dramatic implications.

All of us need to understand how this will affect our security, employment, and the economy.

So true, and to the detriment of employers, who could definitely benefit from experienced talent right now.

Woke up this morning with this thought:

In this turbulence, what all communities and workplaces need are people with the insights and experience of going through other times of great change.

And so I wrote this. The only thing that will get in the way? #Ageism
