Old People Are Cool Recognition Resolution of 2025
This ceremonial resolution (CER 26-0029) symbolically recognizes the "Old People Are Cool" project by declaring May 2025 as "Old People Are Cool Month" in the District of Columbia. It honors the project’s efforts to combat ageism and celebrate seniors through community events and social media, while aligning with the national Older Americans Month theme. The resolution directly affects DC seniors and the Forest Hills of DC organization, which runs the project, by formally acknowledging their work. As a symbolic gesture with no new policies or funding, it does not impose legal requirements or alter existing laws.

The substantive policy content remains unchanged, with only formatting, numbering, and procedural elements modified to reflect its official status.

Added date 'April 1, 2025' to indicate when the enrolled version was finalized.
TIMELINE
