Last minute details for Oct. 5 Lyme protest in San Francisco
While the Infectious Diseases Society of America holds its conference inside Moscone Center, we’ll be protesting outside. Can you join us?
Where: Moscone Center South, on Howard Street between 3rd and 4th. (Close to Powell Street BART station and Cal Train. There are parking garages in the vicinity.) Click here for a map.
.
When: 11 am to 2 pm, Saturday, Oct. 5.
.
Why: The Infectious Diseases Society of America denies the existence of chronic Lyme and makes it difficult for Lyme patients to get the medical care they need.
.
Speakers include Jordan Fisher Smith (the park ranger from UNDER OUR SKIN) and other Lyme survivors and activists. Andy Wilson, director of UOS, will film the event.
This will be a PEACEFUL protest. We have a legal right to exercise our first amendment rights, as long as we stay on PUBLIC sidewalks and do not block anybody’s access to the facility.

Thank you so very much to every person involved in the planning, organizing and behind the scenes work. Thank you also to every individual going who will be representing the countless others of us unable to attend. You are in my thoughts and heart today. Hold yourself strong and proud ! Say it out loud!
I . D . S . A . WE WON’T GO AWAY !!! Bless you all, have a safe protest. Know so many here are cheering with and for you. Much Love
TY Very much for your engagement I really wish I could be there with you, San Francisco is “my town” ever since I emigrated to the US back in 1965. Well that means I am now an quite old lady – with Lyme – and have not much spunk left to make trips. Hope you all have a nice experience and nice day all together in a needy subject. My love to you all.
