You did great.
No need for me to get rid of that pesky J in my name.
So, Eric, this is the part where I get to talk for 45 minutes and everyone else just nods.
And they're going to cut my joke out, I bet you too.
So it started actually following the AGS statement that followed the murder of George Floyd.
So like a lot of organizations, corporations, professional societies, we put out a statement that basically said we stood against violence and other forms of discrimination following his murder.
We included in that statement an intentional, very small footprint, but saying something that said and committed ourselves publicly to doing more, to moving beyond just making statements to taking action.
Which, you know, I will say was a big step for the organization like the American Geriatric Society, which is really focused on another big ism, ageism, which is under-recognized in healthcare.
Sort of that little thing that nobody likes to talk about.
And as Laura Mosqueda said, the only ism where we act against our own future selves and all of us do it.
So it was a pretty bold move on our part to say we're going to take on these other isms.
And over the course of the following months, we talked amongst ourselves and decided that we wanted to proceed along two tracks.
One was to start to take immediate actions, which I think we'll have
Sharon talking about a little bit later in terms of increasing diversity and research.
And the other was to sort of start to define the intersectionality of ageism with other forms of discrimination.
And with an intentional focus for this first paper,
on racism and structural racism.
And I think that, as Ramona will talk about and elucidate a bit further, is just a recognition that in this country we have traditionally, and to my mind continue to do so,
cause serious harm to Black people and that you can see that play out within healthcare in ways that are both big and small.
So that's where I'm starting.
