How do you defeat ageism?
Speak up! Do not let yourself be pushed around just because you’re older, and be as independent as you can. You can also fight back by pressuring politicians to pass laws so that you retain your rights that no severance/pension agreement has “confidentiality” or “no suing” clauses in it. Pressure the government and make sure that they have a platform before the election. This way, each party has a platform going into the office. If each party has a platform, there’s a high likelihood that one or two things they might agree on and pass into law. Defeating ageism would not be done quickly; we need stamina, bravery, and direction to keep us in the fight.
