Old Lesbians Organizing for Change

LGBTQ+ Elders · Wisconsin · Free

OLOC — empowering and supporting old lesbians nationally. Relevant for veterans of the AIDS crisis, the Stonewall generation, and elders who lived underground identities most of their lives. Caregiver support is built into most LGBTQ+ elder programs — partner-led care is acknowledged and supported. Estate planning is critical: without wills + medical proxies, hostile family can override partners and chosen family. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Wisconsin residents and the people supporting them.
