In her rousing new talk, Ashton Applewhite proposes that we throw away the damn shovel, forge new cross-generational compacts and collaborate on new ways of thinking and behaving. The women’s movement taught us to claim our power. A pro-aging movement will teach us to hold onto it. Doors open at 5:30pm, talk is at 6pm, followed by your questions. No charge; RSVP required; register here.
