Are we truly going to sit back and just complain? As Baby Boomers, we’ve seen so much change across our lives—yet now, more than ever, it feels like our voices are being drowned out. The truth is, meaningful change requires action, not just words. We must hold our leaders accountable and demand consequences for their actions. Remember, “power is not given; it is taken.”

This isn’t just about the past; it’s about our legacy for future generations. We have the wisdom and experience to challenge the status quo. We can take initiative and reclaim our influence.

As we reflect on our lives, we also recognize the isolation that can come with aging—friends and loved ones drifting away. However, instead of resigning ourselves to silence, let’s unite. It’s time to confront the injustices that have crept into our society. We owe it to ourselves and to those who will come after us to stand up and be heard.

Let’s not quietly fade away—let’s rage against complacency and strive for the change we want to see.
