Day Two’s opening conversation steps back to ask a bigger question: What kind of society are we choosing to be when it comes to aging and disability, and how do we show up for one another across the lifespan? At a time when fear and retrenchment dominate the headlines, and when the foundations of our social contract are being questioned, this panel explores what it looks like to meet this moment with vision, moral clarity, and the same boldness that gave rise to programs like Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare.
Speakers included:
- Rebecca Cokley, Ford Foundation
- Narda Ipakchi, The SCAN Foundation
- Moderator: Rebecca Vallas, National Academy of Social Insurance
