Why

Mobilizing older Americans

With so much at stake—our planet, our future, and the integrity of our elections—this tour mobilizes the power and wisdom of elder voters to take decisive action. By uniting in key battleground states, the Silver Wave is showing that older Americans are eager for the future that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz represent.
