WHO WE ARE
Jane Addams Senior Caucus is a multiracial, grassroots organization led by seniors in the Chicagoland area.
We cross neighborhood, racial, religious, and socio-economic lines to unite in our work toward a world where all seniors can age with dignity and safety, free of ageism, racism, and other forms of oppression.
JASC welcomes the advocacy and support of our younger allies. We understand that our fight for equity for seniors today serves the wellbeing of generations that follow.
