Going alone is not advisable, imo.

I can't go either due to mobility issues & the fact that i get really sick very quickly in the heat, so I feel your frustration.

But we can keep each other conpany tomorrow.

I'm in the same boat.

The media was impressed with all the people that were out there with walkers - it made national news. This was a protest against the Iraq war.

Where I live we have several volunteer groups that can give individual rides. And since volunteers tend to be more, ahem, liberal good-hearted folkes, they may be planning to go to an event anyway.

Check your senior center or Council on Aging. I'm guessing the Tahoe area has a lot of good people.

Good luck!

that's probably the only way I'll go... not with strangers. But I also don't know what my body will feel like tomorrow...

Grabbed him and threw him on the floor.

If ICE or NG starts shooting bullets you cannot protect yourself or run quickly.

Yes other bad actors might pose a threat as well.

I am also concerned you might pose a safety hazard to other people.
If someone stops to help you, they are in harm's way.
Or your walker blocks the way preventing escape for others.

My little town is so chill and cool...but it also has magas who will infiltrate and disrupt... UGFH!

Another concern I have for myself is that I am older with osteoporosis.
If I am pushed and fall, I would probably break a bone.

I am also concerned that if things go badly at the event, the paramedics
will be called to treat a lot of people. If they are treating me, a young person might not get
medical care at the scene.

I come from a military family and one rule of war is that you have to stay alive to fight another day.

At a hockey game. You don't look at crowds the same way again. I am always looking behind me.

I wish to be there, but will have to send mental energy only...

Did the perpetuator or perpetrators suffer any consequences for their actions?

And, don't feel bad about not going. Some of us will be there in spirit.

I sat in front of a bunch of them. Never seen such “jerky” kids. They left me alone and I left them alone though. They were outnumbered by a bunch of college kids.

It's definitely one of the barns to visit on this fan's bucket list.

This state has been infested with demons.

Don't know who it was. I need help getting up and I got it. There are nice people too but so embarrassing!

Will be sending all good energies to those who are standing up!

But, my husband is immune compromised. So we will need to wear masks. Still debating it.

Just had minor surgery, and I would be alone. There are other ways for us to be supportive, and let the healthy people represent

Within a hundred miles of you, I would be at your Door at FIRSTLIGHT, and carry you, even with my freshly steroidal L5 , and crippling Heel spur that I got from actually serving and fell 20 feet to the deck from the ships mast.
Keep the spirit my friend, we will walk for you.
Us vets are good about caring and fighting for those that can not, to fight for what this country is suppose to be.
Watch and be proud of all that care for the Nation.
I will draw my strength from you.

I just had an L4 injection june 6th! They also gave me steriods for this week cuz my hands are so painful right now...

Thank you for your service and strength! Thinking of doing a home-based solidarity...playiing my drum and singing prayers for peace! :salute:

I am a guitarist, trying to stay ahead of arthritis.
I need some Keith Richards pain control. I promise, I will hold your desire to be with us in my heart.
Maybe play Collins’s “In the Air Tonight’ in my headphones and do the solo drum entry in the air, just in your honor.
Cheers.

If you have a car, drive by and honk. Watch what is happening on TV and call your reps. But, be well and take care of yourself. We are gonna need a lot of fruit pickers for a while until we get rid of this brain eating amoeba. 🤭

I have a hot knee, probably from some sort
of insect or spider bite.

I'm there in spirit tomorrow!

At church, we say to stand to pray in body or spirit. You will be protesting in spirit.

Your safety is paramount.

try and find a livestream to watch.

Some graphics, too.

this time. I've got my sign and I'm ready.

I am in good health though, and understand that those who have mobility issues have more to think about, understandably. But at the last march, I saw people in wheelchairs with signs, waving at and supporting those of us passing them by. If you can do that - comfortably and easily - then I'm sure your local marchers would love to see you as they pass by.

I'll know many of the people who join the protest. We are in an almost 100% white community, in a red county, red state, so I don't expect scrutiny from i c.e. or fbi, at least I hope not.
Once I get to the protest, I'll do what I can and support others who can do more
I have room on my sign, thought I'd make a border showing is with me in spirit. I have multi- colored pipe cleaners, thought I could punch holes across the bottom and twist a bit of pipe cleaner through. Be a subtle reminder of Pride as well

These organized protests are generally extremely orderly (aside from people driving up and down the route honking horns). Most have peacekeepers to help ensure it stays orderly.

Stay away from anyplace you suspect people might throw things - but my guess is it will be a party-like atmosphere, and it will do you good to find like-minded people.

I am amazed at how many people apparently have no experience with organized demonstrations and are afraid to go, or afraid to sign up. I've been to dozens starting when I was somewhere shy of 10 years old. I went to one just after the end of the Vietnam war with my grandfather. I've been to two since Trump took office. Not a single hint of violence at any of them. You do have added reasons to be cautious - it is challenging to navigate in a walker in a crowd. If you think you can navigate in a walker in a friendly crowd, don't let the fear of violence or people running keep you away.

That said - don't feel obligated to go. We all do what we are capable of doing - and when some of us step back, others step forward.

but I was more able to walk and my kid was a Junior/Senior in HS and we went with extra kids..It was really moving.
We went a few nights...

...but this one carries more threats of violence. They WANT violence to be able to justify their overreach.

No Kings - not especially.

Stay safe above all at the moment.

We need you 🙂

Especially if you have to go alone with no support. Even I would not go alone and I am not disabled. I am going with 2 other senior ladies. We all had lunch together and made signs. We are driving over to the courthouse tomorrow where the protest begins at 9 a.m. I will march for you, FirstLight.

Every bit helps, but you don't have to go. We benefit from a healthy you more than an extra sign or person at the protest. All the same, every person at the protest helps and inspires.

I want to go, but my husband would not be able to walk from the public parking garage to the demonstration, and I won't leave him behind. I'm so pissed that this protest is at River Park Square. There is no place to park on the streets surrounding the park, the parking garage only has 1,300 spaces and the only way you can see this protest is by being there. Hopefully the local media will cover it. The last protest (Hands-Off) against the fascist pig started in a neighborhood park and spilled out onto a very busy street. It was so visible to everyone!

My Ladies Gun Club is meeting tomorrow and we have a few members who ate going to others how to preserve foods. I'm sharing techniques for drying foods. Our grandma's survived Jim Crow with these skills.

We are gonna survive this regime. That's how we protest.

everything was so cool and relaxed. There were thousands of people there without any problems. I didn't even see any police there. I realize that this time may be different if maga morons try anything but I don't expect it. Good luck to all.

and marshals to look out for them. If your protest is big enough there should be a plan for that.

Is there any way you can contact a local organizer to let them know you would like to come but need some support?

I don't even want to leave the house when tourists are afoot...so I'll give my anxiety a break

I love the spirit of protest marches, and wanted to go just to put my body where my beliefs are and be counted! But my health is poor now (metastatic cancer - I'm in mid-chemo for the second time) and it's wreaked havoc on my spine and strength.

I loved seeing people older than me out there in years past, and I aim to be there again!!

Meanwhile, I'll be cheering on everyone who can go!!

You could do a drive by check it out. Hang out with others your age not in the most crowded area.
