Kenny Florian tweeted, “At least those people that didn’t vote are now going to realize that after all of this their vote ACTUALLY matters.” “Time to stop feeling like I’m in an episode of “Black Mirror”. Complaining on social media does nothing. Physical action = real change.” “What?! My tweets, reading & watching the news from my couch didn’t help me influence change in the world?! 😱”

Rose Namajunas said, “So tired of people expecting others to make things better for us time to think of other ways to make change ourselves! Looking forward to our journey with @earthship hopefully this idea spreads”
