When I’m 99 is a movement. It’s about imagining a future full of possibility. It’s about challenging perceptions of aging and confronting ageism directly. This forum is an online resource for anyone who is interested in challenging assumptions about aging. We want this site be a place that gives voice to those who believe aging has been given a bad reputation. We want to celebrate the accomplishments of older adults — shaking the foundation of anyone who believes they are “too old” for anything. We want to provide information about policies and strategies that aim to combat ageism. From expanding the Family Medical Leave Act to include caring for parents/grandparents to raising awareness about ageism in the workplace.
