First hour: Panicked? Well, what are you doing about the election?
Second hour: How Rochester is becoming a Parkinson's-friendly community
If you're feeling some panic about the presidential election, a question: are you going to stay on the couch, curled up in the fetal position, for the next six weeks? Or might you go to work, volunteering? Would you go to a swing state for a weekend? Would you phone bank? No matter whom you support, we're exploring ways in which you - yes, you! - can get involved to help impact the election. Beyond, you know, asking the universe to intervene. Our guests:
- Dick Hastings, Republican organizer and volunteer
- Carol McManus, Republican organizer and volunteer
- Larry Knox, political and community engagement coordinator with SEIU
- Michelle Daniels, Democratic volunteer
Then, in this Move to Include conversation, we explore how Rochester has become a town more welcoming to people living with Parkinson's Disease. From diagnosis to research to resources, we'll cover it all. Our guests:
- Dennis Whitney, president of the National Parkinson Foundation of Greater Rochester, and the primary caregiver for his wife
- Bill Carpenter, board member for the foundation and the caregiver for his wife
- Flo Dorsey, living with Parkinson's Disease
- Michelle Burack, assistant professor of neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center
