The Council of the District of Columbia has passed a ceremonial resolution to declare May 2025 as "Old People Are Cool Month" in recognition of the Old People Are Cool project, which is supported by Forest Hills of DC. This initiative aims to honor and celebrate the contributions of older adults while addressing the issue of ageism that often marginalizes this demographic. The resolution aligns with the national observance of Older Americans Month, which in 2025 will focus on the theme "Flip the Script on Aging," encouraging communities to challenge stereotypes and promote the inclusion of older individuals in all aspects of life.

The resolution also acknowledges the vital role of healthcare workers who care for seniors and emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive and inclusive environment for older adults. Through community-building events and social media storytelling, the Old People Are Cool project seeks to uplift the morale of seniors and foster a sense of unity and love within the community. The resolution is effective immediately, highlighting the Council's commitment to enhancing the welfare and perception of seniors throughout the District of Columbia.
