Senior citizens gain power by united effort and aging policy shift
The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions projects that by 2000 one in three Americans will be over 65 and the nation will tilt toward elder concerns. Mary O Day argues older people are goal oriented and not inherently declining. Militant elder groups such as Gray Panthers grow nationwide, with figures like Eric Hoffer urging victims of crime to organize. Public Interest Law Center notes over 25 million people over 65, facing rising poverty and high self-harm risk, as others describe retirement realities and mortgage payoff as retirees face new challenges.
