- Abstract
SAGE, the country's largest and oldest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ elders, offers a range of supportive services that play a key role in informing and supporting SAGE's growing policy advocacy strategy. Formed with a focus on LGBTQ+ elders, SAGE's policy advocacy focuses on addressing the structural challenges to dignified aging engendered by ableism and ageism. The article includes examples of how to form coalitions with grassroots organizers in the service of advocating for elders from marginalized groups, especially the LGBTQ+ community and people with disabilities.
