Old People Are Cool Recognition Resolution of 2026

This ceremonial resolution declares May 2026 as "Old People Are Cool Month" in the District of Columbia to honor the Old People Are Cool project and celebrate the District's senior population. The bill recognizes the project's mission to combat ageism and promote positive perceptions of older adults through community events and social media initiatives. It also acknowledges healthcare workers who care for seniors and aligns with the national Older Americans Month observance. The resolution has no operational requirements or funding provisions, serving solely as a symbolic declaration of support for seniors and the related project.
