As governments gather at the #OEWG11, there's just one message for everyone there: we've talked for years: now it's time for a @UN convention on the rights of #olderpeople. #LessTalkingMoreDrafting @HelpAge

Without protecting #olderpeople's rights, #ageism will keep harming our lives when we're older. It doesn't have to be this way! That's why we're joining @HelpAge in calling for a #UNconvention to help stop ageism. Time to make it happen at the #OEWG11 #LessTalkingMoreDrafting

Calling all campaigners & #selfie lovers! As governments gather at the #OEWG11 next week, we have one message: It's time for a @UN convention on the rights of #olderpeople. Take a selfie with a pen & ask your government to start drafting a convention. #LessTalkingMoreDrafting

Keeping secrets is outrageous when it means losing lives. Big pharma must #JoinCTAP to share their vaccines with the world and govts must ensure those most at risk get it first. #PeoplesVaccine #OlderPeople @pfizer @moderna_tx @BioNTech_Group @AstraZeneca @Novavax @JNJNews

If there was something wrong with your car, you’d ask a mechanic If you had a leaky sink, you’d speak to a plumber If your lights went out, you’d want an electrician So, if you want information about the Covid vaccine: SPEAK TO A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL NOT Sandra on whatsap!

Vaccine rollout in northern Argentina. Only enough doses for 5% of over-70s. Signup system overloaded and shuts down. This is fairly typical of what is happening in many developing countries google.co.uk/amp/s/www.pagi…

Excellent blog, which sums up the lose-lose trap for older people of boomer/burden rhetoric.

If your feet grow, you buy bigger shoes. If you get a dog, you get food for dogs (hopefully). So why aren’t we adapting to a world where we live longer? OK…maybe it’s a bit more complicated than that. Hence we need a #UNconvention on the #rights of #olderpeople😏

The families of key workers have been asked to step up during this pandemic, often without the support they so desperately need. Tell the Government to give our key workers, including police, armed forces and teachers, the pay rise they deserve. 👇 action.labour.org.uk/page/s/key-wor…"
