Diverse Elders Coalition (DEC)

Advocates for policies and programs that improve aging in our communities as racially and ethnically diverse people; American Indians and Alaska Natives;  Blakcs and African-Americans; Asian-Americans and Pacific islanders; Hispanics; and lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender (LGBT) people. In the decades to come, the communities represented by the DEC will collectively form the majority of older adults in the United States. The DEC is working to strengthen policies and programs to enhance the health and wellbeing of diverse elders, educating and connecting diverse older adults and their loved ones to key policy debates on aging, and increasing public support for issues that affect our communities.
