This is great! Thank you Hollywood stars for teaming up and joining other prominent, important people. Your powerful positions will get the attention and open the eyes of millions of people, saving many from becoming victims at their most vulnerable time in their lives.
I hope the federal and state legislators from coast to coast are paying attention to this impressive team of advocates.
I think this group of advocates should request to be invited to testify in Washington DC at a series of hearings with the US Senate Special Committee on Aging.
What a wonderful idea (the advocates testifying at the US Senate Special Committee on Aging).
Now that would draw a crowd and would even been seen on all the entertainment shows.
I am so grateful for people to get involved in these awful actions directed to our elders and children! In my opinion, our society craves and admires beauty and youth WAY too much. We're missing a huge link to wisdom and experience.. our elders.. our parents, grandparents... etc.
My best, Carol
