BY KITT WALSH We Boomers are the generation that protested the Vietnam War, got tear-gassed and locked up in RFK stadium, insisted on being recognized as Ms., not just somebody’s Mrs., fought for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, demanded access to contraception and abortion rights and founded more social movements than ever before in history. Now we face ageism, threats to our medical care, nursing homes abuse, malnutrition, poverty, assaults on safety nets like Social Security and Medicaid, and a president who is a threat to everything we have stood up for and protested about our whole lives.
