Harnessing Momentum
Through webinars, virtual roundtables, and thoughtfully-crafted resources, we invite you to join the national, cross-sector movement leading health equity in aging - connecting issues at the intersection of aging, disability, race, and social justice.
Part of the broader Advancing Health Equity in Aging initiative, the Harnessing Momentum campaign offers cross-sector advocates and leaders meaningful opportunities to join the health equity in aging conversation through webinars, roundtables, in-person community roundtables, workshops and timely resources leading up to our annual United for Health Equity in Aging Summit.
From February 2024 – December 2024, join us to explore the key topics of: Choice around aging in place, affording aging, and healthcare access and delivery. Live webinars and roundtables will explore the key drivers of health inequities among older adults (linked to the Greater Good Studio Stories of a Movement research), while creating cross-sector synergies and community-centered solutions.

GUIDE
Movement Making: A Guide to Responsible Storytelling
Stories are critical for nonprofit, philanthropic, and national organizations to advance their missions. They help to bring life to systemic issues that people face daily, demonstrate the impact that organizational efforts have on individuals, and help organizations connect with their audiences. Because organizations rely on real-life stories, they must practice responsible storytelling. This guide provides a snapshot of what it means to participate in responsible storytelling – as storyteller, but more critically in centering equity for the listener too.
