Any complex system, by nature, is inclusive of cultures, philosophies, goals, and processes. In our system, we might argue that each element of the system holds the same aim of\u00a0improving the lives\u00a0of America&#8217;s elders. Yet even in a system where the larger goal may be philanthropic, issues of power, privilege, voice, and silencing often exist. Where issues of power, privilege, and silencing are present, there is an opportunity to advocate for change. We may advocate for change in our own lives. We may advocate within one or many systems. We may advocate formally or informally and at multiple levels. If we see ourselves as empowered changemakers and equip ourselves with the right tools, each of us can find our own unique calling as Elder Advocates.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243;
