Session: Intergenerational Grace: keeping & creating space

Time: 1:45 PM - 3:00 PM

Track: Heritage & Culture

Description

Transitions in activism are inevitable, but why do older activists feel pushed out while younger ones feel stuck—sometimes because elders aren’t leaving? This session explores intergenerational grace, arguing both generations can coexist, learn, and build powerful movements without choosing either/or.

We discuss extending grace to founders transitioning out: how to support them, plan for succession, acknowledge burnout, and recognize older activists may lack time or compensation to mentor. The session opens with a 20-min presentation on Intergenerational Grace, followed by conversations with three intergenerational duos.
