Community Development - Role in Advancing Social Justice for Seniors
The Teapot advocates for seniors whose needs are often overlooked. We work to inform groups focused on women, poverty, linguistic minorities, and cultural communities, ensuring that low-income adults 50+ are included in critical discussions. We strive to create a more inclusive and just society for all seniors by amplifying their voices.
