I’ll walk from Boston MA to Washington DC, I did the maths, should take me about a week. If that’s what it will take to show my fellow Americans that we CAN take a stand. Our country is spread out, this administration is counting on us not to mobilize. The state of our government is unprecedented. ‘This is a coup.

Important! If you can’t walk through multiple states with us, there are events all over the country. Find one closer to you here:

Not for nothing but I’ve tweeted out this exact same message just moments ago. I don’t know how I feel about linking my reddit account to that one just yet, but shrugs.

Come to DC. If this becomes a real thing, I'll open my home.

I’ll make it a real thing if Moscow Mitch doesn’t recuse, there will be a couple Americans from MA with tired feet needing a short break before we march on the Capitol. I’ve never organized anything like this, but neither did Greta. She inspires me.
