Olderwoman (I'm one, too), I'm not as spry as I used to be, but it's time we stood up (or sat down) for ourselves. I can't march any more. So I just bought a folding camp stool and when the young ones march, I sit. My presence is as important as marching--maybe more so because it's obvious I had to work hard to get there.

Love this! So true. We can do much good by encouraging those who have the energy to do more.

We can do much good by supporting them--financially, and by writing and calling our legislators. Everybody must do something!

Especially if you create a good sign!

I collected protest signs from the women's march in 2017. One of my faves was of a very beautiful, well dressed old woman sitting in a wheelchair holding up a handmade sign that said: "Honey, your gun doesn't make your dick look bigger. It makes you look like a bigger dick."

My favorite is the one that says "I can't believe we have to do this again 50 years later."
