Aging: So Cool Everyone is Doing It©
We are all aging, all the time, all together and we invite you to #ButtonUpAgeism with us. Our campaign incorporates age-positive messages to help us rethink what it means to age and to start these conversations in your own community.
History of the Phrase
The Age-Friendly team first debuted the phrase and #ButtonUpAgeism campaign at the 2018 International Federation on Ageing Conference in Toronto, Canada. Since then, the buttons have been made and shared with groups of students, professionals, and community members around the world. Read more about the history in the highlight of the work by the National Center to Reframe Aging.
