But I’m one little old lady sitting at her computer.  I did write to Jane Fonda about the idea, but haven’t heard back.  How does one organize support for elder housing when most elders are not going to band together and go out and protest.  And, anyway, the most important support would be from Boomers who are facing the issue in their futures.

There is one site I found that tells how to start a movement.  I have contacted them. My earlier blog post is the beginning of a “case statement”.  The next piece would have to be the goals of the movement, and I’m open to suggestions.  I would think the ultimate goal would be to have one of the President’s Cabinet members take on the challenge.  Housing and Urban Development?  Health and Human Services?  A combination of the two?

How would we begin to work toward the general goal of improved senior housing?  Petitions at senior centers that would get sent to the relevant new presidential cabinet members?  A website that someone has to design for the movement? (I would host and pay for it.) How does it get publicized?

Or maybe it’s just a pipe dream.  Thoughts?
