Who We Are

We are the risk-takers; we are the innovators; we are the developers of new models. We are trying the future on for size. That is our role. Maggie Kuhn, Founder

Mission

To work for social and economic justice and peace for all people.

Vision

To create a humane society that puts the needs of people over profits, responsibility over power, and democracy over institutions.

Values

Honoring Maturity: The concept of aging takes into account an individuals growth during their entire life span, from birth to death in personal development, social involvement, and self fulfillment.

Unifying the Generations: Recognition that generations are formed by different histories and cultures, and a common respect holds them together.

Active Engagement: Civic participation and responsibility are fundamental to achieving goals of social and economic justice.

Participatory Democracy: The Gray Panthers belongs to its members. The members define the organization’s values, purpose, and the issues in which we place collective energy.

    I joined over a year ago and I have never received notices of meetings or activities. I want to be an active member. I would like to keep my dues current, attend meetings, and be a part of this. I was thrilled when I was one of the panelist in the program Rehabilitation vs Punishment that was co-sponsored by the Gray Panthers. I am a member of LULAC and other groups and most certainly want to be a participating member of this great group. But I need some kind of notice. Thank you

      Dear Mr. Martinez.

      I am Gary Dugger, Convener of the Austin Gray Panthers. I apologize enthusiastically for our poor follow up this last year. We are in an organizational re-shuffling but we still have our office in the AGE building and we meet the 2nd Tuesday of each month, usually at Central Market at Lamar and 38th. Sometimes we meet at Lyons Gardens in East Austin. You can always check with me on my cell for information which is 225-4789. We are planning a party at my home in early August so maybe we can meet.

      Sincerely. Gary
