Hi OAEF - and special attention, Steve Lipson! This week, I attended the online portion of the AAACE conference (I presented on Adult Ed Sustainability) Hyewon Park of the Community Tech Network presented on Digital Equity for Seniors. She has given me permission to share her presentation with OAEF. CTN will publish their research in a few weeks and then provide a white paper. https://communitytechnetwork.org/ -- Community Tech Network - located in San Francisco. I think CTN could be an important ally in our work. Steve, want to take a look at all this and share your thoughts? And let me know if you want contact info for Hyewon. Sincerely, Cynthia

Hi OAEF Here's an article - https://www.statnews.com/2023/09/14/hispanic-paradox-life-expectancy-research/ that essentially acknowledges that cultures that are more collective - the focus here in Latino cultures -- have more longevity. I think in terms of our work, we can make the case that where collective/cultural/family support is lacking, OA classes make important contributions. Traditionally, most human cultures centered on caregiving. But as we know, that has been lost in many cultures - and it's definitely been lost in ours - meaning US culture - to greater or smaller degrees. I grew up in Southern California. You might have heard of Leisure World - a senior community in So Cal. When they designed it, they didn't plan on folks living as long as they did once they moved in. The trouble was, they created a strong community -- and that led to people to living longer - which meant less real estate turnover - not good for the folks who built LW but good for the people. Community and connection are the secret to so much. Cynthia

Donna Frankel ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Labor Notes <sarah@...> Date: Wed, Sep 6, 2023 at 11:02 AM Subject: Workshop: Caucus How-To, September edition To: Donna Frankel <donna95070@...> Guidance for rank-and-file union reformers. JOIN US FOR Caucus How-To When: Wednesday, September 13 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern (7-8 p.m .Central, 6-7 p.m. Mountain, 5-6 p.m. Pacific) Where: Online Register Now With reformers at the helm, the Teamsters and the Auto Workers (UAW) are raising the bar for contract campaigns. At Labor Notes we often hear from frustrated members of unions that have nothing like a contract campaign—members play no role in setting the agenda or building the momentum to win. Union leaders agree not to “bargain in the press,” squandering any chance to attract public sympathy. Sometimes the rank and file doesn’t even hear what’s going on until a deal is done. Now that a better way is on display, I hope we can all file that approach “where it belongs,” in the trash—just like UAW President Shawn Fain filed automaker Stellantis’s opening proposal. It was a stunt, but a delicious one, signaling that some union leaders are finally on the members’ side. Fain also bucked the tradition of opening bargaining by shaking the boss’s hand, and instead spent a day shaking hands with auto workers. From "Teamsters and Auto Workers Are Raising the Bar for Contract Campaigns" (Labor Notes, August 17, 2023, Al Bradbury) So much is possible with democratic, transparent, militant organizing. But how do we get there? Where do we start? This workshop will be led by Labor Notes board member Ellen David Friedman. It is free and open to union members at all stages of caucus organizing. If you can't make it this time, don't worry—it will be held again. Accessibility: Closed captions will be turned on. If there are other accommodations we can help with, please reach out to sarah@....

Hi OAEF, As you recall, we in OAEF wrote our own letter to electeds - and LAO (Leg Analyst Office) and DOF (Dept of Finance) --- about the current re-assessment of the Adult Ed System. CCAE was first to do so and we patterned after them - emphasizing the need to refund OA classes. https://www.ccaestate.org/communicator/legislative-update-on-the-funding-model-workgroup-meeting-in-july-is-now-available --- updates you on what CCAE's next steps are --- as well as provides some info that this assessment of AE will probably be slow as the state of CA has a lot on its plate that takes precedence. I think it's important to read so please take the time to do so. Also, if you recognize any names in there --- especially if they are in your area -- you could make contact with them. Angela Taylor, director of San Mateo - one of the few remaining adult schools to have OA class - is on the CCAE group working on all this. Sincerely, Cynthia

Hi Folks, I saw this via my SF Village newsletter: Provider Ready: Preparedness for Older Adult Service Providers Wednesday, September 6 from 730am to 9am Online Register here Please join the Region 2 National Preparedness Division in collaboration with the Administration for Community Living (ACL), Office of Policy, Planning and Innovation (OPPI - SAMHSA), and Schoharie County, NY Area Agency on Aging for a webinar on Preparedness for Older Adult Service Providers. Many older adults depend on community service providers for necessities and psychosocial support. However, these crucial services may be disrupted during disaster, impacting older adults in your community. This workshop prepares organizations that provide critical support services to older adults. The webinar will discuss continuity of operations, preparedness planning for older adults, disaster mental health issues and case studies. Who should attend? The whole community, workplace management, family members and other care givers, federal, state and local agencies, community and faith-based organizations.

Hi OAEF Folks, I posted the letter we wrote to the AEM (Adult Education Matters) blog. Here is a link to the post: https://adulteducationmatters.blogspot.com/2023/08/adult-education-funding-concerns-from.html You can now easily share the letter on your social media by copying and pasting that link to your social media. When you click "post," it will show up with an image - our logo that was used on the t-shirts. Strongly suggest: In addition to copying and pasting, add some test such as "OAEF speaks up about the value of Older Adults Classes and the importance of including them in State of CA budget for Adult Education. Read the letter to learn more." Add hashtags: #OAEF #OlderAdultsAdultEducation #AdultEducationMatters You can "tag in" an elected official. To do this, you'll need to find the elected official on the form of social media you're using - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), etc. Copy and paste their "address" from social media. For example, here is Assembly Kevin McCarty on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AsmKevinMcCarty Use the @ sign to tag someone in. IMPORTANT: If you "tag in" someone, they will know you are tagging them in - so make sure it's win-win. Example, @KevinMcCarty has shown strong support of Adult Education. We know that he will understand why Older Adults classes are important to include in the budget for #AdultEducation. Especially if an elected has done something good, you want to tag them in on social. This gives them credit and attention for doing good things - their "followers" on social will see it (if they have set up their social that way). I could blather on much longer - but that's why I gave the presentation on social media last summer! I hope this will help you. Maybe I can explain more at a future meeting. Cynthia

Hi OAEF, I've shared about "The Village Movement" ---- no, not the musical group and not the place in Florida!

Hi everyone, As promised at our Older Adults Education Forever meeting, I am sending the list of questions about educational opportunities for Older Adults we have compiled for unions and other organizations to ask candidates who are seeking endorsements. Organizations that support state funded educational opportunities for adults over 55 can use these questions to raise awareness of the issue in candidates and help select candidates who will support education for older adults when they get into office. Kristen

HI Older Adults Education Forever folks, San Francisco has an active Gray Panthers chapter, and they will be hosting a forum this Tuesday, August 15, on Zoom. You don't need to live in San Francisco to participate.

SF Gray Panther forum, August 15, 1-2:30 pm (membership meeting, 2:30-3 pm) Begin forwarded message: From: Art Persyko <artpersyko@...> Date: August 13, 2023 at 7:14:56 AM PDT To: Marilee Hearn <marileehearn@...> Subject: Marilee: "What should SF progressives be thinking about & working on, now?" SF Gray Panther forum, August 15, 1-2:30 pm (membership meeting, 2:30-3 pm) ? "What should SF progressives be thinking about & working on, now?" August 15, 1-2:30 PM, Tim Redmond, the foremost SF political reporter shares his thoughts. Progressives and moderates both have reason to worry about their respective political futures in SF. In the recent past, progressives have suffered several defeats and that trend could continue without a galvanizing, countervailing force. “Moderate" Mayor Breed is seen as ineffective, so she's vulnerable to a challenge in next year’s race for SF mayor. Yet no clearly progressive mayoral candidate has appeared to challenge her, and without that, issues we progressives care about are a lot less likely to be raised during the campaign. What is the future of progressive politics and policy in SF? What issues matter to you; who in SF is fighting effectively for them; and how can we maintain SF’s reputation as a city where creativity, social justice and grass roots organizing combine to put our city on the leading edge of US cities with a positive future? Tim Redmond is the foremost progressive journalist and analyst whose focus is SF. At the next SF Gray Panther forum on August 15 from 1 to 2:30 pm, he will discuss what issues SF progressives should prioritize and be working on, now. And you can ask him questions. Please join the discussion!
