- Title
Incorporating an Anti-Ageist and Anti-Ableist Lens into DEI Work.

- Abstract
Organizations across industries have rushed to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in the wake of George Floyd's murder and ensuing racial justice uprisings. However, many DEI programs lack clarity of purpose and/or clear outcomes, which can negatively impact their effectiveness. This article discusses how a nonprofit focused on LGBTQ+ elder services and advocacy (SAGE) implemented a DEI program and modified its goals to clearly address ageism and ableism in its ongoing work. The article concludes with recommendations for other organizations interested in refining or launching their DEI work.
