Thank you thank you thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Yesterday was incredible. Thank you for showing up across the world. 
To our HUNDREDS of volunteers: WOW. You all are unbelievable. I am so proud to know you all and you should be so proud of what you’ve accomplished. 
To the core leadership team: you guys, we did it. I love you. I’m so proud of you. 

What’s next? 
We are going to take a damn nap and then figure out our next steps. 
Meanwhile, YOU are going to step up and be the change you want to see in the world. There is nothing stopping you from organizing at your school, work, hospital, state capital, etc. Yesterday was just the beginning, and YOU are what’s next. How will you rise up?

Get up, dorks! You’ve got a world to change!
