Current Campaigns
Sign on as a supporter of Illinois Aging Together!
Sign on to express support for the Illinois Aging Together campaign and our legislation, Aging Equity Act (HB 1237, SB 2032), which will create a planning commission to develop a Strategic Action Plan for Aging Equity in Illinois.
Illinois Aging Together is a statewide movement for aging equity in Illinois. The vision is for state government to develop and adopt a long-term strategic action plan for aging that cuts across departments, programs, policies, and sectors to move toward aging equity across the life course.
This planning will be accompanied by a shift in public narrative and understanding regarding aging by redefining and reframing the value, meaning, and purpose of life as we all age.
The Illinois Aging Together campaign is a bottom-up campaign, and we need your support to get legislation, or an executive order passed that will form a diverse and inclusive planning group with stakeholder input for the strategic action plan for aging equity. Sign on below to show your support for the campaign and legislation as well as to learn about opportunities for engaging in this movement for aging equity.
