The highly interactive, 90-minute ‘Still Kicking’ workshop enables participants to identify and address ageism and ableism in daily life, stay engaged, and apply what they’ve learned. Ashton, Kyrié, and Ryan handle the virtual environment with aplomb.

The Movement-Builders Convening was one of the best zoom sessions I’ve been to, and I heard the same from many attendees. I met some wonderful people, can't wait to dive into and share their work, and love this way to deepen and widen the scope of anti-ageist activism.
