The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has cut 20 positions as attendance continues to lag pre-pandemic levels. The staff cuts include seven layoffs and 13 empty posts that will not be filled. Although visitors have been returning since the museum reopened in March 2021 after a pandemic shutdown, attendance has reached only 65 percent of 2019’s numbers, director Christopher Bedford wrote in a letter to the museum community. He blamed lower foot traffic in downtown San Francisco and “our city’s broader economic issues.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
An emerging movement is harnessing the wealth and political engagement of older Americans to support the climate agenda. Many retired baby boomers who cut their teeth on the anti-war and civil rights protests of the 1960s are joining their children and grandchildren in the fight to respond to climate change. The most visible of these efforts has been Third Act, launched several months ago by environmentalist Bill McKibben, which has encouraged seniors to pressure elected officials, banks, and universities to promote clean technology and end investments in fossil fuels. Other groups include the Elders Climate Action Network and Inclusive Louisiana, an environmental justice organization co-founded by 68-year-old Myrtle Felton after losing loved ones to deaths she attributes to local pollution.
