Shout-out to Boomers today!
The people who fought for no-fault divorce, plus women's right to credit, access to contraception, & legal abortion.
The people out picketing against nuclear winter before it was cool (pun intended), & who tried so hard to stop unjust wars in other eras.
Who endured other recessions & rallied for workers' rights.
Who were present at Stonewall, & did SO much to fight for inclusivity.
Ageist thinking distracts us from the real destroyer of lives. #NotHere #NotCoSo

All that's true, but we also failed to bring about the social reforms we protested for. Like all generations, we had our successes and our failures. I wish we'd had more successes, though.
I do, too, but "not resting on past laurels" is also a terrific attribute of many Boomers, so thank you for your integrity - on top of all your efforts at the time.
