This is a screenshot of a text from AOC. She says, “Please do not fall for the illusion or the lie that any action is too small. There is no action, too small. In fact, when millions of us do tiny things, we can disrupt these systems. Do not comply in advance. You try anyway. We will not be afraid– because that’s what they want.
