ASA'S Future Proof
ASA believes work on racial justice can no longer remain at the margins for those of us who work to improve the lives of older people in this country. We plan on weaving it into the fabric of everything we do at ASA, including this new slate of Future-Proof broadcasts, which for the Summer season will center around Equity and Justice. Please tune in as Peter Kaldes, CEO of ASA, speaks with experts in aging whose work intersects with racial injustice and inequity, such as Robert Espinoza, Denny Chan, Karen Lincoln, Larry Curley, and Ai-Jen Poo.

Episode 1
Peter Kaldes, CEO of the American Society on Aging, talks with Robert Espinoza, Vice President of Policy for PHI, about issues of equity and justice and how they intersect with the work he does as an advocate for the direct care workforce and pushing policy change in long-term care. Espinoza discusses how systemic racism has affected direct care workers and how that might be ameliorated, how immigration policy feeds into the mix of racial and social justice, and his vision for a more equitable and just world, especially as it pertains to caring for older adults.
