Founded on March 26, 2022 after a year and a half of organizing, discussing and planning, Radical Elders brings together Left movement activists in the United States who are over the age of 55. We are democratically governed and practice intentionality in encouraging the leadership of people from populations too often excluded from leadership especially women and people of the Global Majority.
We invite you to use the links above to read our program, browse photos and reports of events and actions we have participated in and, if you’re a radical elder, join us.
