welcome to wise age

Hi
This is to introduce myself. Wise Age has been set up to represent the interests of baby boomers  and help Older Working Age people ( 50- 65+) overcome ageism, discrimination and exclusion,  poverty and isolation - but mainly to have a  progressive voice on whats is happening to us and in the world.
Wise Ager is the everyday blog for Wise Age and I as the chief Exec of this viluntary not for profit organisation  will be trying to redress the balance so older working age people( 50-65+) are seen as being an active part in making our world more equal, fair and sustainable and to give those of us progressive babyboomers a voice to show what a lie it is that all of us seniors are reactionary, conservative and fearful of change and the future....

On  last Saturday I went along to the March Against Climate Change in central London. although it was a bit of a hike to get there when we arrived we were knocked out at how many people were there - must have been 50,000 - took hours for everyone to get to the speakers nearParliament - - but as usual the police and media downplayed the numbers - 10,000 my arse!.
The mix of people with banners from all over the UK - or at least Englandand Wales - young  and old was brilliant. As were the the banners, the imagination that went into the slogans, the banners, the dressing up, plus great music and chanting - not to mention the giant black bin bags floating along -one of which was eventually shoved over the fence into Parliament - rubbish for rubbish.
It was also good to see and hear how many people now make the connection between climate change and capitalism - to save the world from cliamte change we also need to save it from globalised, neo liberal capitalism - or the triumph of brutality and psychopathy over the decency and needs of the majority of the people in the world.
Listening to most of the speakers reminded me that we are l not alone there are milliuons of us who understand that we need to restart the democratic process from the bottom up as the main parties are now ALL part of the problem.
Yet again I was reminded that just going along and being a part of  soem little resistance can inspire you so you dont feel quite so alone and powerless. After the whole event in central London it also reminded me how few public free toilets there are!
