Join the Launch March 17th at 3pm ET and join Grandmothers for Gun Responsibility - just go to: https://thegrandmothers.org/launch Margaret Heldring never imagined spending her retirement organizing to end gun violence. Yet following the Sandy Hook tragedy in 2012, Margaret - a retired psychologist - found herself leading what would become Grandmothers for Gun Responsibility—a movement that's redefining both how we approach gun safety and what it means to be an older woman activist in America today. Sarah J. Dean, Advisory Council member, shares the organization's journey from a local Washington State group to a national movement launching with 400 attendees, and the way they are changing the narrative around the role of grandmothers, and the issue of gun responsibility. The wisdom of their approach is striking. The shift in perspective that comes with age is compelling, and the issue is undeniably urgent - you won't want to miss this conversation! Whether you're a grandmother yourself, someone concerned about gun violence, or interested in how older women's voices can transform social movements, this conversation is for you! As Sarah beautifully states, "We have the right and responsibility to tell our stories and interpret who we are ourselves, rather than letting stereotypes interpret who we are." Ready to challenge assumptions about both gun safety and grandmothers and become inspired and involved? Visit the website (and attend the launch!) to learn how you can get involved with this groundbreaking movement. https://thegrandmothers.org/…

Three powerful voices: Rosalind Pollack Petchesky, Esther Farmer, and Pam Sporn. For decades they fought Israel's Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, defying dismissal and disrespect from the mainstream community. Now these elderwomen are chaining themselves to the White House fence and taking to the streets to protest the genocide. Their insights are poignant, fierce, challenging and often raucously funny! They are modeling grit, intelligence, compassion, and how to mobilize around the "horror and the hope" of this moment.…

Meet Alda Facio, a feminist activist, educator, creator and jurist whose work has influenced thinking about women's rights from Costa Rica to the United Nations. In this episode, Alda talks about her love affair with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and her 2 decades working with multitudes of women's human rights activists in the excellent Women's Human Rights Institute! Her pioneering efforts light the way to show us how the law can be harnessed as a formidable tool for justice and advocacy, and how a U. N. Convention can unite women across generations and geographies to bring about meaningful change. Drawing on the inspiring activism of the Mothers and Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, we discuss how love and older women's determination and stature can be powerful catalysts for achieving social justice and equality. With warmth and irrepressible humour, Alda brings us insights about human rights activism and personal revelations that delight and enlighten.…
