About / Mission
A multi-generational social justice network that confronts ageism and other injustices, founded by Maggie Kuhn in 1970 on the principle that old and young must unite to achieve social and economic justice.
Volunteer Needs
Modern Gray Panthers chapters (e.g. in NYC, SF) welcome retirees and young allies to collaborate on issues like opposing nursing home abuse, advocating single-payer healthcare, affordable housing for seniors, and peace—volunteers write letters to policymakers, join intergenerational rallies (such as for universal healthcare), and mentor youth activists to carry the torch.
