welcome

You have found the home of OLOC, Old Lesbians Organizing for Change.

We are a national network of old lesbians over age 60 working to confront ageism in our communities and our country. We use education and public discourse as our primary tools.

Our national organization is directed by a Steering Committee that works to form and support local groups who will work in their own communities. We hold biennial National Gatherings allowing us to come together to share experiences and ideas and recharge our energies for the tasks at hand.

We believe that we have a great deal of wisdom, experience and strength to share with our communities as well as among ourselves.

Everyone will have her older life made better by the work we do.

Projects

Our long term projects:

The Arden Eversmeyer
Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project

Arden Eversmeyer

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are collecting the herstories of lesbians 70 years and older before their stories are lost forever.

They are an invisible population who were strong enough to live their lives and love whom they wanted in a hostile society. The project will include lesbians with backgrounds ranging from blue-collar women to those with visible high-profile careers.
Visit the Herstory Project page for more details.


In Remembrance

We gather and post tributes to our lesbian friends and mentors who have died.


OLOC gratefully acknowledges the support of

Astraea Lesbian Action Foundation

E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation
