Third Act

Here’s a wonderful movement, “The Third Act,” whose message is that elderly people, despite cues from society that they no longer matter, are actually needed more than ever if our civilization is to get on a sustainable path.

Earlier in their lives, many of today’s senior citizens forced enormously positive social changes: civil rights, gay rights, women’s rights, and the end of the war in Vietnam. 60 years later, the opportunity to make a change carries perhaps an even greater imperative.
