I’m 84, depend on Social Security, and am physically disabled. I feel that my mission in this fight is as an encourager of those more able than myself.
I have taken a break now and then when things seem overwhelming, but as I look around, I see signs of hope. There have been several town halls by GOP Congress members where the people asked hard questions, and booed answers that didn’t satisfy their concerns. These were in red districts where the Congress members thought they had full support from the public. Even red voters are angry.
I'm physically disabled too (polio survivor), and I am encouraged by the rising tide of anger toward the admin. I tried to sound the alarm about RFK JR and vaccines--my heart would break to see another wave of polio in our country. That didn't seem to matter. What does matter is when folks find out the plans include them, not some nameless "other" or "liberal." Keep encouraging!
As the 72 year old daughter of a mother who was confined to home 24/7 and in a wheelchair due to polio I have a hard time listening to anti-vaccination BS.
Every single one of us must do something, no matter how small, and together it matters. There will not be a great Democratic leader who comes forward to lead us out of this. It is up to "We The People"!
Picking that person willing to go up against MAGA and now what seems to be some sort of Neo nazi white man's club will be very important and people are being vetted.
Also very very important is how to get our message out, which media types for which age groups etc. Meanwhile vote in your local and state elections, the outcome of these is MAJORLY IMPORTANT 🇺🇸
While we are at it, let's take back our flag!! from those I feel are traitorous MAGA .
Don't Despair!!! They win each time one of us voices a powerless thought. It may be overwhelming, but we have been here before in history, never this blatantly, but we know we can support younger generations to get this country back on track to be a humane, inclusive,productive,creative,
Thanks Catherine. It looks like he is trolling some really good sub stacks, maybe years from now... he will understand .
Or maybe sooner. Or maybe he just infiltrates our contact list and lives in a cave somewhere, either way he doesn't seem to engage much. A lot of what our parents told us is trite, and I find myself using glib little sayings from 60's & 70's that prob sound dorky!
So right (or rather 'left'!) about this. Email your congressmen (Cause most GOP s are male). Email EVERY US CONGRESSMAN. They count the numbers of emails or phone calls and multiply by a factor to figure out what % of pop. supports such views received. Phone them non -stop. If able to do so, go to district town hall meetings be loud, be polite, but DO NOT BACK DOWN AND TAKE NO B.S. THEY work for you, not the other way around and better realize it!! GET TO indivisible.com website and find local supporters even in Red areas. You can do on-line or phone or other organizing as volunteer for them from your own home. Volunteer to phone for Dems (I did from Canada, give you a script, they hide the phone # in their office #, easy as pie!) Solidarity and love from the Frozen North. As an old-school union (teacher) activist in my spare time, still a lifelong member for the service I did while teaching full time as well, I know how this works and this is what is done in political offices.s..they really DO listen multiply by a factor they have to figure out the pop.% agreeing with you, and they will fear for their jobs as they should. COLLECTIVE ACTION IS ALL THAT WORKS AGAINST FASCISM. Love from Canada to all you BLUE DOT AND BLUE VOTERS AND INDEPENDENT VOTERS and even forgiveness for the red hats who didn't want this to happen and regret their vote. JUST DO SOMETHING ONE THING EACH DAY!!
76 in Calif., rely solely on SS. Also physically disabled & so wish I cd join protests, rallies, Council meeting. BUT, we have our sharp minds & long experience to contribute. We are online activists; that is our bullhorn. We too are in Observing stage & will act when the time is right.

With you on that! I feel bad that I can't join protests or work a phone bank due to Post-polio Syndrome pain & fatigue. But I will not be silent.
EXCELLENT POINT MIA. We need to honour our elders in this. They have seen it all! 67 here Canada!
