who never understood why some people can't attend this and that will have new insight. Attending gatherings and meetings and even protests in person is a privilege for many people. Even those who do not have a disability, are limited due to lack of transportation, caregiving responsibilities and so forth.

I've been encouraging having more things available online as possible because there are more people than most realize who don't have the time or resources to attend gatherings in person.

That said, this is also bringing to light how we need to get access ramped up across the country. Online schooling is revealing that many people don't have reliable Internet access and/or computers/tablets.
