This resolution recognizes May 2025 as "Old People Are Cool Month" in the District of Columbia, supporting the Old People Are Cool project's mission to combat ageism and celebrate seniors. The resolution acknowledges the Administration for Community Living's national Older Americans Month theme of "Flip the Script on Aging," which aims to challenge stereotypes about older adults and explore diverse aging experiences. The resolution highlights how ageism currently isolates and marginalizes seniors, and celebrates the Old People Are Cool project's core mission of recognizing elders as valuable individuals deserving love and respect. By declaring this special month, the Council seeks to honor healthcare workers who care for seniors, promote community inclusivity, and generate positive awareness about aging through community-building events and storytelling. The resolution takes effect immediately and represents an official recognition of the importance of seniors in the District of Columbia's community.
