Article Abstract:
Significant anniversaries or major demographic thresholds, a new opportunity to achieve change in policy, a new threat to popular and effective existing policies are some of the events that will spark renewed advocacy activities in the interest of older people in the years and decades ahead. Good advocacy requires two other factors besides timing such as the need for good advocates who know what to do and when to do it and a need for good champions ready to respond to the advocacy.
