The resolution, introduced by various council members, aims to honor the "Old People Are Cool" project, which is supported by Forest Hills of DC, and to celebrate the seniors of the District of Columbia. It declares May 2026 as "Old People Are Cool Month" in alignment with the national observance of Older Americans Month, which focuses on the theme "Champion Your Health." This initiative seeks to promote healthy aging and encourage older adults to take an active role in managing their health and well-being.

The resolution highlights the detrimental effects of ageism, which marginalizes older adults and hinders community growth. It recognizes the mission of the "Old People Are Cool" project to combat ageism, celebrate the lives of elders, and foster a supportive environment for seniors through community-building events and social media engagement. Additionally, it acknowledges the dedication of healthcare workers who care for the elderly, emphasizing the importance of uplifting and valuing this demographic within the community. The resolution will take effect immediately upon publication in the District of Columbia Register.
