OLOC in Action
OLOC, an international network of Old Lesbians in our 55th year or older, and our supporters, work to defy ageism in our communities and our country. We use education and public discourse as our primary tools. We hold biennial Gatherings allowing us to come together to share experiences and ideas. Mary M. Morgan, in “The Oil of Old Age,” writes: “Aging is not a disease. It is a natural component of being alive.”

We are dedicated to preserving and enhancing the Lesbian voice as well as increasing Lesbian visibility in a world that stifles Lesbian culture and threatens to erase it.

Affiliates receive access to: the quarterly Reporter and monthly E-News, Zoom Events, Zoom Support or Small Discussion Groups, and the Email Discussion forum on groups.io. Find out more by visiting Benefits of Joining.

Volunteer

Your commitment can be short such as one-time activities or infrequent needs. Or it could be more regular by participating on a team that meets monthly or biweekly. Some tasks allow you to work alone while others put you in connection and cooperation with several others.
