Wallis Annenberg GenSpace

🏗️ Thrilling news! Around 1 AM this morning, the Annenberg Wildlife Crossing's last girder was installed, finishing the foundation for what will become a vital passageway for SoCal #wildlife.

Congratulations to our Foundation Chair, Wallis Annenberg, the Unsung Hero award recipient at last night’s @WCRF_CA event! The Annenberg Foundation salutes the #WCRF for their tireless work on #CancerResearch, offering hope, strength, and progress.

In addition to his legendary career in entertainment, our friend Norman Lear was a true advocate of understanding aging, and seeing the power and positivity of growing older. We will miss him greatly.

One of the most pressing issues contributing to negative views about aging is the portrayal of older adults in pop culture. 🎬 It’s why we created resource guides to inform the language and storytelling used on screens, social media, and in conversations: annenberggenspace.org/contentguide/

Wallis Annenberg GenSpace is proud to support the first-ever @Mettle_Health Convening of patients, caregivers, and clinicians centered around bridging the gap between the arts, storytelling, medicine, and palliative care. AUG 17 - Get tix now: buff.ly/3K4Ap5W

Make sure to check out GenSpace’s library! We have more than 500 books available in English, Spanish, and Korean with large-print type for easier reading. Kick back and enjoy a book in the space or bring a book to the front desk to check it out for two weeks.

As we look ahead and prepare for expected hot temperatures this season, make sure you take precautions to avoid heat stroke and exhaustion. GenSpace is air-conditioned and a cool place to relax, enjoy a class, hydrate, and connect with other members! We hope to see you soon!

Today, we want to wish our colleagues at Wallis Annenberg PetSpace @AnnPetSpace a Happy 6th Anniversary! PetSpace is full of people who are leading the conversation about how to strengthen animal welfare in LA and beyond. Join us in wishing them a happy anniversary!
