Help us smash aging stereotypes

The San Francisco Senior Beat  is an online magazine featuring people over 50 in San Francisco. We dip into this vast and varied population to show readers the reality of senior life in this incredibly diverse city. We focus on profiles of people who have faced challenges or are coping with new ones but also those who are exploring new opportunities for learning, giving back or simply reinventing themselves. Sometimes we bring attention to a particular program, but through the eyes and experiences of the people it is helping. Our underlying motive is to “reframe” societal views of aging that are often negative.
 
We are a small staff of part-timers, largely funded through SF Reserve, a program of the San Francisco Community Living Campaign . We would like to be able to expand our work so as to include more interactive features and profile people in more of the city's neighborhoods.  Here are some pictures of folks we have featured in SF Senior Beat.
