U.S. Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Angie Craig for Congress (D-Minn.) will introduce a bill this week addressing the “rising elder abuse of LGBTQI+ individuals.” The Elder Pride Protection Act of 2024 would establish a task force through the Justice Department, tasked with studying “the increased incidence of elder abuse” targeting #LGBTQ individuals, developing best practices for a national approach and for state and local authorities to address these crimes, creating and distributing educational materials to raise awareness, and coordinating “the response of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.” “SAGE is proud to support the Elder Pride Protection Act of 2024,” said Aaron Tax, managing director of government affairs and policy advocacy for SAGE, a national advocacy and services organization for LGBTQ elders. 💙🌈#LGBTQAging #WeRefusetoBeInvisible #ElderPrideProtectionAct “LGBTQ+ elders deserve to age without fear of elder abuse,” Tax added. “We applaud Rep. Gottheimer for championing the establishment of this important task force, which we hope will improve the lives of LGBTQ+ older people.” Read more about The Elder Pride Protection Act here: https://loom.ly/MqP8ZUU
