I’m 76 years old with long standing back issues. Surgery in 1999 helped a lot but I think I’ve developed spinal stenosis …not diagnosed … just have the symptoms. Plus two knee replacements. The knees are good. The back? Not so much. So attending a rally could be risky for me. My spouse is much better off but I don’t want him worrying about me…and he would.
There are two rallies in our town, both going on simultaneously. If I can figure out how to safely attend the one closest to us (2-3 miles away), I may go. The location will be much safer. No need to get in the street. DeSantis has pretty much said drivers can run down pedestrians with impunity, so staying out of traffic is a high priority for this old gal. I am happy to protest, but not ready to cross the Rainbow Bridge ….yet. 
Hear’s an idea for folks who support the cause but are infirm or unsteady on their feet, how about organizers offer things we can do? Send money. Make signs. Bake some snacks for the crowd. Send water. It is June. And in my town, it is hot. Even at 10 a.m. Give us a way to support the cause even if we cannot attend the rally.
