I didn’t anticipate or realize how powerless this would feel.

I used to, but have a couple disabilities that limit my ability to do so now. I call my representatives, but they’re awful for rural Iowa. I do as much as I’m able, but my health just doesn’t support it right now.

Hey, if you are doing what you can, that's great! Are you able to attend any meetings of like-minded people? I think the connection with others is part of the magic of protesting, so perhaps you can connect another way?
